TODAY'S IDIOM: WARTS AND ALL

"WARTS AND ALL"



If you show something warts and all, you show it exactly as it is without trying to hide any of its faults or weaknesses.

Example: Are you sure you want to read the first draft? You'll see it warts and all, with all the mistakes and all the bad writing still there.

Con todo y sus defectos.

Example sentences:


  • People don't want to see an idealised version of his life. They want to know the real story, warts and all / La gente no quiere ver una versión idealizada de su vida. Ellos quieren saber la verdadera historia, con todo y sus defectos.



  • The Kurt Cobain biography is good because it's a real warts and all account of his life, and it doesn't try to hide the more disturbing parts of his life / La biografía de Kurt Cobain es buena porque es real con todo y los defectos de su vida y no trata de ocultar las partes bochornosas de su vida.


Additional examples:


  • It's a great performance warts and all. 



  • Yes, we admire each other very much, warts and all.
