"There's something I need to tell you" drama

Typical (usually teen) melodrama where nearly every episode includes the phrase "There's something I need to tell you". The "something" usually involves a previous lie, backstab, pregnancy, or other misdeed.

"I can't believe I just watched 7 episodes of 90210 in a row!"
"That's pretty sad... what do you think is wrong with you?"
"I don't know... I think I'm addicted to "There's something I need to tell you" dramas."

"I have to tell you something" moment

The scene in movies and tv shows when one person is about to tell another person something, but the other person interrupts and says something that convinces the first person not to say anything. The other person usually finds out the truth anyway. This scene is being over used in tv shows and chick flicks

The classic "I have to tell you something" moment

Girl: (thinking) I don't want to go out with this guy, he's weird! I'm gonna break up with him.

Guy:hey how are you?

Girl:I have to tell you something.

Guy:me too... My aunt just died after a long, painful battle with cancer and her dying wish was for me to give you her priceless diamond ring. So what were you gonna tell me?

Girl:Uhhh... (in fake voice) I just wanted to say I'm so excited were going out yaayyy...

those who omit to tell an important fact so as to curry favour

to omit to tell an important fact so as to curry favour

While I admit to being a disciple of dontopedalogy, I am more suspicious of those who omit to tell an important fact so as to curry favour. I wonder if there is a word for that?

you don't have to tell me twice

Another way of saying, "I understand" or "I already know."

(patiently listens to a broken man's pitiful, self-depreciating speech)

My Response: "You don't have to tell me twice and I'm okay with it as long as you stay away from my sis. P.S., Jesus loves you and everyone else thinks you're an idiot."
