11 правда глаза колет
посл.truth has thorns; truths and roses have thorns about them; cf. home truths are hard to swallow (are usually unpalatable); nothing stings like the truth- Ты что, Лида Харитоновна, вздумала изгаляться над нами? - вызывающе спросила Мавра. - На что это мне изгаляться? Правда глаза колет. Муженёк-то твой помалкивает. Да и ты знаешь, о каком деле разговор. (К. Федин, Костёр) — 'How did it enter your head that you can scoff at me like that?' Mavra asked Lidia with a challenge. 'Why, I wasn't going to scoff at you. Home truths are hard to swallow, are they not? Your hubby keeps mum, and you know damn well what I'm talking about.'
