tell it like it is

To state what you believe to be true without forethought.

Usually, people who "tell it like it is" hate it when other people "tell it like it is" about them.

Trump: The FAKE NEWS media doesn't like me because I tell it like it is!!!

Bannon: The meeting at Trump Tower with Russians for dirt on Hillary was treasonous.

Trump: WAH, WHY DID YOU HAVE TO TELL IT LIKE IT IS???

tell me true

To say this is asking for unfiltered, unbiased real facts to be laid bare. It means your heart is ready for whatsoever may come next guised concepts find you thru looking square and objectively when they become unveiled.

Just out with it, already ...alright?? I need to know- whether Eva is truly descended from an actual unicorn because of fooling with the dark math . You hold but some answers ..or complete truth inside of this ageless quandary, and somehow.. Now tell me true (!!!) The heavens tire of your shrouded allegiance, man. Forsooth, for I say- give it up .. !!

i tell it how it is

An excuse people with no filter use all the time

Friend: JOHN THATS AN EXTREMELY RACIST THING TO SAY AT A FUNERAL

John: I tell it how it is

tell you what

A Southern United States phrase; it usually shows disgust or suprise with a situation or person.

Because the phrase tends to be used by itself, many people in the North US who hear it think that the speaker has not finished their sentence.

A, Southerner: "That Joel; I tell you what."
*a few seconds pass*
B, Northerner: "... What?"
A, Southerner: "I just TOLD you!"
