How it's used
Carries a blunt and aggressive tone that implies the speaker is annoyed by the other person's hesitation or stalling. It is strictly for informal settings among close friends or peers where you have the social standing to be rude. Using this with a superior or a stranger will almost certainly cause offense.
Examples
Just spit it out, don't beat around the bush.
Common phrases
spit it out
Common mistake
Do not mistake this for a literal request to pass gas. It is a metaphorical command to stop wasting time and get to the point.
