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.

I'll Tell You that For Free

When a piece of information is so obvious that it's no skin off your nose to share it.
"How does this rank for you in playoff pushes, the excitement of this building and the fans' involvement over the last couple of games?"

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?"

Got something you want to tell me?

Huh? There something you want to tell me fat shit? Come on. Spit it out.
Hym "Got something you want to tell me? Huh? How is it that you can afford to pay $1000 a month for you mother to NOT support herself but an act of god occurs that temporarily renders me unable to support myself and you don't have $240 for whichyou would eventually be reimbursed? Because it's spite. You want me to work hard in spite if the fact that you are aggregating an disseminating information about me (likely for profit). Go fuck yourself. I shouldn't have to do anything if my very existence generates revenue."
