hitting the nail too squarely on the head 

Expressing oneself too directly, too plainly, insensitively.
I once considered buying a birthday card for my dad that made fun of his age. My dad was in his late 60's. It portrayed a man in a car looking in a rear-view mirror with a panicked expression, and seeing the Grim Reaper. The message printed on the mirror was, "Objects shown in mirror may be closer than they appear." I thought it was hilarious, but I thought it was "hitting the nail too squarely on the head." It's implication was too direct.

hitting head right on the nail 

exactly the opposite of the saying 'hitting the nail right on the head'
Jesus : Why are you sad Jon?

Jon Lajoie : My girlfriend dumped me!

Jesus : Why? What did you do?

Jon Lajoie : She wanted a bracelet on her b'day...

Jesus : Amm....So?

Jon Lajoie : Instead I had Sex with her DAD!

Jesus : OK, Jon that's a classic case of 'hitting head right on the nail'
excessive nice speech, the opposite of ragebaiting

Regular Degular 

Plain. Not tampered with or upgraded. Basic.
May I have an order of regular degular buttermilk pancakes? Without all the added jazz? Hold the blueberry smiley face, strawberry glaze, chocolate chips and whipped cream.
