Mythering, tell them float

'Myther it, tell them float', 'You're mythering, tell them float', or simply 'tell them float' is an expression used to tell people that what they're saying/doing/feeling is not that deep and they should simply deal with it.

The expression comes from if someone was drowning or struggling to stay in water, you would tell them to float. In this idiom, the water that they're drowning in is the situation that they are taking too seriously; and they should simply float above their problems. Not solving the problems, merely floating above them.

It's important to note that the person facing these issues are told to themselves "Tell em float". Almost as if the peer to peer conversation is actually a group bullying whereas the person telling them to float is calling for people to back him up.

Telling the truth

That is not what you are doing Anna. You are drawing a box around 'innocent kids and journalists' and pointing at that and shrieking at me like a chimp so you don't have to give me the credit and pay me and, beyond that, you don't have to stop the people who are doing this to me because you had get raped so now I have a mental illness I don't actually have imposed on me and there's just no undoing it BECAUSE I SAID THE THING I SAY ABOUT YOUR THING! Right? This is the most extreme example of media collusion of which I have ever even heard!
Hym "What you are doing is in no way shape or form 'telling the truth' Anna and I'm not exchanging care with you to get you to care about my thing. And you've already made what you're doing explicit. You're rejecting my framing of the issue and just inventing a new reality and you're likely doing it for religiously motivated reasons. I don't have to just live with 'my problem' and I don't have to do what you would like me to have to do for it to be solved."
