What is the English translation for: "voir les dessous des cortes"?

This is carved in a vintage piece of folk art; a table top used for playing cards that fits on a barrel. It is only one third of the saying. A second part is French "to spend (or pass?) the time".

Are you sure the last word isn't "cartes"? Because then it would say "View beneath the cards." Which makes sense for a playing table. The way it is now, it would say "View beneath the cuts", which is a rather gruesome command.

The correct expression is "Voir le dessous des cArtes":

"View beneath the cards" which means “Know the inside stories.”
