This is said when you want someone to come straight to the point. It means stop talking around the subject and tell me exactly.eiris wrote:"There is no use beating around the bush."Somebody said this sentence in my textbook.

Example: Someone asks you if you smoke and instead of answering 'yes' or 'no' but just talk about smoking in general. Then they would say to you, "don't beat about the bush, just answer yes or no."
