Hello everybody, my name is Coach Shane and welcome to Easy English Expressions.
Come on, let's master English.
Hello everybody, welcome back to Daily Easy English Expressions, the broadcast.
Number 985. And today's expression is to come clean.
To come clean. Hmm, to come clean.
C-O-M-E, come clean, C-L-E-A-N.
What does it mean to come clean?
It means tell the truth.
Actually, it means to confess.
C-O-N-F-E-S-S. You confess means to tell the truth, but you were trying to hide the truth, or maybe you were even lying.
So usually if you do something bad and you don't tell your mom, you don't tell your teacher, you don't tell your wife, well then you're hiding something, maybe even you're lying.
And if your mom, your teacher, your wife finds out, they'll be very angry at you.
So maybe it's best to come clean, right?
Do you come clean when you do something bad?
My wife did yesterday. She's doing some shopping for Christmas and I gave her a limit this year.
You can spend $40 on Christmas.
And well, she went over.
She spent like $70. But before I got the credit card bill, she came clean.
She told me. And I said, well, is it a gift for me?
And she said, um, yeah. So I said, okay, that's okay then.
So it's all right. She came clean so I'm not going to be mad, right?
Cause I'm a good husband.
Check out the dialogue.
Why is Monica not being nice to me?
She knows you ate her cake.
Aw, come on. It was just a piece of cake.
Monica loves cake. You'd better come clean to her.
Get up. That's right. Monica.
Monica loves cake. I guess maybe she bought a piece of cake, right?
And she was saving it in the refrigerator, but this other guy ate it.
She's so angry. And she doesn't know 100% sure that he ate it, but she thinks he did.
So the other guy says, you better come clean.
You better tell her. You better tell her the truth.
That's right. You know, telling the truth is so much easier than lying because when you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything, right?
Yeah. But let's be honest, coming clean can be painful.
Yeah. Especially if it was like an accident, not intentional, you know, maybe you're driving your wife's car and you spilled coffee on the seat, but you don't tell her.
In the winter time, it's fine.
The air is nice and cold.
There's no smell. But in the spring time when it's warm and hot, suddenly the smell of the coffee, maybe the sour milk is going to make the coffee the car just smells so terrible.
And she's going to, she's not going to know why she's going to be, oh, what's wrong with the car?
And it was you husband that caused the problem.
Well, you should have come clean because by the spring time, it's too late.
And then you have to buy her a new car.
All right. Come clean, everybody.
You guys have a fantastic day.
By the way, I'm going to come clean.
