Idiom of the Day:

“Letting the cat out of the bag”
(Have I done

this one before?)

If you “let the cat out of the bag,” you are revealing a secret. For more context, you would use this saying if you revealed the secret that ruined a surprise, or if you shared a confidential secret that has now created a tense situation. This could be talking about a surprise birthday party as the birthday boy walks into the room. Or consoling an employee who is going to be fired before the boss fires them.

    Is it similar to spill the beans?
