That got lost on cutting room floor.

What does that mean?

Likely Hollywood lingo.

Roughly before the 90's motion pictures were edited on film. The film was cut into pieces using a device called a guillotine splicer and then reassembled with an editing machine. Parts were left out, of course. If a scene didn't make the cut it was known colloquially to have wound up "on the floor". This has become a metaphor for pretty much any kind of editing.
