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.

Get the To Tell You The Truth mug.
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.

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.

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."

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."
