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.

Let awake dogs tell the truth

Good advice, but how could the sleeping ones even say anything, untruthful or otherwise?
Saying, "Let awake dogs tell the truth" makes no more sense than verbally allowing them to fib while snoozing: dogs can't talk in any case, as we all know, and so they could not tell "lies" in any alertness-state --- i.e., whether they are asleep or up and around.

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."
