'Get it off one's chest' (shared via VOA) có từ get off là lấy ra khỏi, và chest là cái ngực. Lấy một điều gì ra khỏi ngực mình, tức là nói ra một nỗi băn khoăn, hay một mối lo để mình cảm thấy nhẹ người, không còn phải lo nghĩ nữa.

Ví dụ
It would be a definite relief to get things off her chest, to know that she was no longer alone in all of her struggles.

The players were given extra training instead and we had a team meeting, at which we got a few things off our chest.

For anybody in a situation like I was in or he was in: Come forward as quickly as possible. Because once you get it off your chest, the healing starts. If you have to live with it, it drives you crazy.

I know something is bothering (đang làm em băn khoăn) you. Why don’t you just tell me. I’m sure you will feel better if you get it off your chest (thổ lộ ra).

You’ve been acting (cư xử) funny (có vẻ lạ lùng) all night. At first I thought you were going to break up with (chia tay) me and didn’t know how to get it off your chest. I couldn’t believe that you and our friends would throw me such a wonderful birthday party!
