Idioms & Phrases

naked truth

Plain unadorned facts, without concealment or embellishment. For example, What I've told you is the naked truth. This expression supposedly alludes to a fable in which Truth and Falsehood went bathing, Falsehood then dressed in Truth's clothes, and Truth, refusing to take another's clothes, went naked. [Late 1500s]


The truth is oily:-

Truth is the facts. Once established, it will be there forever - like oil being spread, it's hard to clean and cover up. Through time, truth will surfaced and back to haunt those conspired.

The truth is painful:-

Upon truth being revealed, it caused pain to and hurts many. What about pain? Those who covered up the truth fear it. Those who twisted the facts worry about it. Those who cheated shun it. And those who were betrayed are certainly longing for it while enduring the inflicted pain.


“Can the sons of the second and third Prime Ministers of Malaysia explain why they have turned their backs on their father’s joint legacy of 5 per cent oil royalty to the states and instead embraced the fourth Prime Minister Tun Dr. Mahathir’s distortion and violation of the petroleum agreements with the various states?

Lim said that Umno’s gag order is aimed at silencing Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah as the veteran Umno man has openly clashed with his party over this issue.

“It is no more a question of who and what is historically right or wrong but who has the present power to impose his views on the country at the moment, right or wrong.

Lim also criticized those who have attacked Tengku Razaleigh.


“Those who are baying for Razaleigh’s blood, like Umno Supreme Council member Dr. Mohd Puad Zarkashi demanding for action to be taken against the Gua Musang Member of Parliament for speaking out on the Kelantan oil royalty issue, have personal political axes to grind.

"Development funds for the states are strictly controlled by Putrajaya, and the PAS government which has ruled Kelantan for more than 20 years claims BN is stifling its economy to squeeze the Islamist party out of the state."
