Teenincy

Tee-nincy. Sounds like tee nine see. Very small amount. Smaller than a smidgeon. Not sure of spelling. Think it's a southern word, maybe originating from the word petite.

Just give me a teenincy bit of sugar in my coffee.

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.

who you tellin?!

when someone says something that you very obviously already know..emphesis on the "you"! Meant to be sarcasm, but not in an offensive way.

If my girl were to say to me "Johnny Depp is sexy." I'd say "Who You Tellin?!" I know this!
