A caption for a photo posted on social media that is characterized by honest and/or sincere expression, as opposed to attempts at cleverness and/or witticism. Invented by Canadian world traveler Laya Polowin circa 2015.
Caption: this is a picture of me sitting on my bed because I look good. Also, I’m bored.
Me: that is a true honesty caption.

An absurd and possibly dangerous concept/cult where it's believers have a total rationalized license to verbally abuse those they wish to alienate from their lives. It is used selectively by some and wholly by others. If you've read the books or paid hundreds or thousands of dollars for the workshops, then you have even more license to be cruel and you will be taken more seriously by the other Radically Honest Cult Members. There is no place for diplomacy or kindness if you're a believer.
Wife: "Honey, do I look fat?"
Husband: "Yes bitch, you look hella fat because you ARE fat!"
Johnny: "Mommy, do like this drawing I lovingly made for you?"
Mom: "No. It's ugly, I hate it, you need art lessons ASAP, son!"
I'm just giving you some Radical Honesty! F off if you can't dig it! It's just how I roll, yo!

Telling the truth bluntly and rudely, without considering feelings.
While often considered an unlikeable trait, brutal honesty is not inherently bad.
Do you need an opinion on something, but don't want the person to lie, lest they make you feel bad? Ask your brutally honest friend. Brutal honesty is also helpful for getting through to people who live in their own little fantasy world.
For example, in shows such as Kitchen Nightmares and Hell's Kitchen, do you think Gordon Ramsay would be taken seriously (or be even remotely successful in his goals) if he was polite? Probably not. But here's something to ponder: He actually IS very polite in person, and when someone genuinely wants to improve, he supports them fully; he just doesn't beat around the bush and tells it like it is, because that's what some people need to hear.

Usually comes about on a Sunday, an "Honesty Hour" is used to describe a period of time when male friends get together and openly admit which female friends they would kidnap, lock in a basement and father children on.
1. Forget the shopping, I'm off to honesty hour
2. God, that honesty hour got out of hand
3. Wade: "Imagine if the Police bugged our house and recorded our honesty hour"
Nic: "We would all be going to jail for rape and murder"

I almost got into Jessica's honesty box last night until she went all prude and said we should only make out.
