shame the devil and tell the truth

A common phrase by cajun company men on drilling rigs that basically means "I don't like what I'm hearing, so tell me again in a different way".

Come on now bit peddler, shame the devil and tell the truth, I know that nothing can drill better than a hughes drill bit.

To Tell You The Truth

When you state something that's obvious.

To tell you the truth I think some people don't act their age.

I always tell the truth. Even when I lie.

Quote from the movie Scarface.

It's a matter of perspectives, and that there's truth in the way of things. When you lie, you also tell the truth because that lie is real because the truth is real, the truth being false, would make the lie true.

You're not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie. Me, I don't have that problem. Me, I always tell the truth. Even when I lie.

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.

Tell the truth

I didn't do the "at least don't lie" part and this obviously isn't what you meant.

Hym "You said 'tell the truth' not 'create A.I. and be objectively better than everyone.' And to be fair, the telling the truth part isn't the part that is working. Literally everything except telling the truth is working. The truth telling part is the part that is not getting me the credit for the A.I."
