A phrase used to ascertain information from a rival as to what happened to him during an altercation, sometimes said information can be used in reports. Most of which are due the following day. In most cases no information is passed on because the fallen rival neither has the strength to tell you due to his/hers incapacitation after the conflict, nor has the intestinal fortitude.

Tell me is often followed by words such as "who", "where", "how" and "what". Furthermore, it can be lengthened to "tell me what happened" or "tell me who emerged victorious". The latter phrase is usually abbreviated to simply "who".
*after a physical conflict*
PersonA: Tell me what happened!

Tell me about the rabbits, George

A popular quote from John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men (said by Lennie to George), sometimes used when dreaming of something (often along with someone else) that you know will never happen. Usually used in a sad, almost-reminiscent way.
Friend: It'll be okay... You'll get better soon...
Terminally Ill Patient: Tell me about the rabbits, George...
Friend: ... Once you get better, you'll go back to school with all of us again...and you'll pass with the highest grades like always...and then we'll be roommates for college...and everything will all be okay...

tell me how you really feel 

The expression "tell me how you really feel" is said in sarcasm and irony after someone has said an anger or hate-filled statement, drawing attention to the anger and hatred (and implicitly mocking it).
Jon Stewart: Deep dish pizza is not only not better than new york pizza; it's not pizza. It's a fucking casserole. ...Chicago, I love your city, it’s one of my favorite places to visit… but deep-dish pizza is like a huge, crusted-over pile of diarrhea
Audience member: Damn Jon, tell me how you really feel
