he's catching on, I'm telling ya 

In reference to Ron Paul's first tv ad for the Republican New Hampshire Primaries.

When this comment is spoken/written, it is meant to be funny.
(As seen in online message boards) Did you see that Ron Paul has 60,000 members in meetup groups? He's catching on, I'm telling ya.

telling stories 

Lying; Making stuff up that's not true.
Tom: Hey Jack, Joe told me he flew his car into a skyscraper the other day!
Jack: Really? I was at his house yesterday, and there wasn't even a scratch on his car.

Tom: Yeah, Joe is pretty good at telling stories. We don't even live close to a city.

trelling 

trelling: the opposite of trolling. whereas trolling intends to leave a person angry, trelling starts out upsetting the person, with the punchline making them feel better about themselves, and bestowing kindness

You keep telling yourself that 

A response to a possibly false statement that one gives when the party being responded to is certainly deluding themselves. Roughly, "If you keep saying that, you might actually start to believe it".
"The price of gasoline is going to go down tomorrow," quipped Sue. Joe simply responded, "You keep telling yourself that."

i'm telling on you 

usually said by younger sibling to get you in deep shit with your parents
me: HA I beat you at the game
sibling: I'm telling on you
me: no ya not
*hits sibling*
sibling: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA MUM! HE HIT MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Telling it like it is

An expression. i.e. being very honest with a friend or acquaintance when answering their questions or telling them what you think about a particular situation.
Laura: Why do none of my relationships last more than a month or two?
Brandon: Well, that's because you expect too much from the relationship. You conceptualize the man you think you need to have to be truly in love, therefore, all other guys seem inadequate for their faults compared to what you fantasized in your head.
Laura: "....."
Brandon: Are you offended?
Laura: ...Actually no, I appreciate you telling it like it is.
