get right to the point
get down to business of
get down to brass tacks
cut a long story short
straight shooter
call a spade a spade
keep this brief
beat around the bush
sugar-coat it
cut his losses
right out and say it
talking in circles
don't beat around the bush
get 2 the heart of the matter
cut to the quick
nitty gritty
no two ways about it
put it briefly
if you get my drift
if you were following me
take my meaning
have a hunch about
the way one sees it….
