Here's the thing

"Here's the thing" can be used as a buildup to an insult and to make sure you'll have the attention of the receiving party. Ending it with a "that's more or less the thing" will let them know that you've finished conveying this information.

Jack: My allegiance is to the law, I'm paid to uphold the law.
Bill: What in the heaven's name are you talking about? You may have misgivings, but don't go believing that, Jack. That way lies damnation.
Jack: I'm in no danger of damnation, Bill.
Bill: Here's the thing, I don't give tuppenny fuck about your moral conundrum you meat-headed shit sack, that's more or less the thing.
