Like Maxey said, it is used when the outcome is good and the process is harsh.February 11, 2012211It means that there are a number of details that we'd rather not hear about. Think about this. Sausage is made of parts of the cow, pig, whatever, that we normally wouldn't eat. Also, imagining how sausage gets made, picturing it in your mind, is something you would rather not do (at least I don't). Nobody that eats sausage would like to think about all the details of how it is made.February 11, 2012210Sooooo what is the exact meaning of 'Don't let us get bogged down with how the sausage gets made'? :DFebruary 11, 2012200It's referencing cognitive dissonance..
