Clean Words for the Money? [closed]

Solution 1:

I would probably translate it to:

Telling it like it is.

This is an expression that means being upfront without any pretense.

It could also be translated to:

Offering my two cents.

This means sharing my opinion in a plain manner. I like this as a translation because it retains the sense of words for the money.

Solution 2:

'Calling a spade a spade' already exists in English and appears to have a similar meaning. – Edwin Ashworth
