@mulansgrandma Thank you for your example sentence. It makes me absorb the use of “in all honesty” to a T.

Also, the word “bust” is also often used to refer to the breasts’ measurements, right?

What’s your bust?
What’s your cup?

Is this natural to thank someone who is honest and willing to tell me the truth?
“Thank you for your openness.”

@studiousme Yes! You can also say:“I appreciate your openness.”“I appreciate your honesty.”

@studiousme I don’t see a problem. To my ears it sounds the tiniest bit unnatural, but I’ve seen it written on the internet multiple times!

@studiousme I would say disagreeing opinions. You’re telling someone what you really think and it’s probably something they don’t wanna hear or something simply disappointing. For example “You know you’re my best friend, but in all honesty your party was a bust.”
