Picking the sense out of the nonsense

To get the truth or importance out of someone's story. To grasp the point of a story.

Me:"I have this friend,and she is in world of trouble. She needs to borrow $300 to pay her rent,and I don't know how to help her"

You:"So you need money to pay YOUR rent?"

Me:"Wow,how did you know?"

You:":eyeroll:PICKING THE SENSE OUT OF THE NONSENSE is what I do,dumbass"
