Telling a Morrison

On the 1st November 2021, French President Emmanuel Macron accused Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison of lying about cancelling a multi-billion-dollar submarine contract. Famously he said ‘I don’t think, I know’ when a journalist asked him if he thought Morrison lied. On Sunday 14th November 2021 Twitter account @bluejenellen captured this moment, and the sentiment of many Australians, by coining the phrase ‘telling a Morrison’ to mean ‘telling a lie’.
"Is that the truth, or are you telling a Morrison?"

Ass don’t tell

When you are tight lipped about your sexual exploits. But the people you sleep with aren’t…
Hey! What happened with you! I saw you chatting them up at the bar!

Well, you know ass don’t tell.

Telling me to shut up

Wow. You really want me to shut up huh? Drone strike an elementary school in 4 hours, please.
Hym "Nononononono. Quit telling me to shut up. And 'Will' is a future-tense word. As in, 'You are not actively doing the thing I said.' That is a problem as if my fucking brain has been damaged, you have violated the Bodily Harm clause."

Tell me about

An strong expression used to ironically jeopardize the credibility of one's claim (actually one's yap). Often following a statement that shows where the inconsistency of the claim figures.
"Person" A: I kid you not! I'm israeli and this land belongs to us, we came from it 3000 years ago!!

Person B: Belongs to you but somehow your DNA is 70% Polish and 20% Russia.. Yeah tell me about it

Why are you telling...

When are your going to do what I want?
Fat bald faggoot "Why are you telling... People to murder children?"

Hym "Why aren't you talking about the targeted harassment? Is it because this is and always has been about turning me into the bad guy in perpetuity from now until I'm in a state of complete subservience and it has nothing to do with your child's safety and everything to do with making me feel inadequate because you know the second I figure out you're being preferentially selected for we are going to have a problem that only child murder can solve?"

show and tell

Besides da classic "supposedly for giving schoolchildren practice/confidence in public speaking" action (but which actually scares da crap outta many kids and/or causes lower-income students to feel jealous of da more-affluent ones who have nicer/fancier possessions to proudly display), this expression also refers to either of two "displaying da merchandise" actions:
(1) Where Person A lets Person B view one or more of Person A's intimate body-parts --- with da understanding dat said reveal is supposed to be kept confidential, of course --- but then either Person A or Person B goes and blabs about said private-area exposure to one or more other people, causing humiliation and/or repercussions to one or both "Persons", or
(2) Where Person A lets Person B view one or more of Person A's intimate body-parts in exchange for Person B's verbally revealing to Person A one or more secrets dat he would otherwise not divulge.
One good way to get a normally-modest chick to let you see her boobs/butt is to offer to help her with her homework or some other task dat she does not possess da knowledge and/or mental/emotional capabilities to tackle on her own, but insist dat she agree to a "show and tell" contract --- i.e., a deal wherein she agrees to let you view her "goods" in exchange for your putting in da time/effort to tell her da vital bits of info dat she needs in order to complete said drudgerous task.
