Or what it meant to &#8220;take heart&#8221;? We list out the top heart phrases in common use and break down what they mean.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. &#8216;<strong>Eat Your Heart Out<\/strong>&#8216;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:22px\">Meaning: Like it or lump it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:22px\">Dreaming of that shiny new car day and night, fretting and sighing every moment you\u2019re away from it? Pining for a loved one who\u2019s away?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:22px\">Then you\u2019re eating your heart out for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:22px\">But this seemingly sentimental cardiac idiom has a far less noble connotation as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:22px\">When you wish to convey that you have a privilege or accomplished a feat beyond the other person\u2019s means, you ask them to eat their heart out.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:22px\">For instance: <em>I\u2019m off work this Wednesday, and I\u2019m going to a movie. Eat your heart out, Fred!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:22px\">But going by how readers of HeartCopy are people with broad hearts, we know you won\u2019t use it in this sense except strictly tongue-in-cheek while bantering with friends!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. &#8216;<strong>Cross My Heart<\/strong>&#8216;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:22px\">Meaning: Swear the truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:22px\">How do you take an oath and declare that what you\u2019re saying is for real? In other words, how do you pledge and promise without using either of those words? Just say \u2018cross my heart\u2019 at the end (or beginning, for that matter!) of all that you\u2019re claiming to be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:22px\">Used mostly by children, the full version though will shock you: \u2018cross my heart and hope to die\u2019!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:22px\">For example: <em>I told Ramya nothing; cross my heart and hope to die!&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:22px\">Of course just the same, you can also ask the other person to say \u2018cross my heart\u2019 when you think they\u2019re spinning a yarn that\u2019s hard to buy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:22px\">For example: <em>Cross your heart; are you telling the truth?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:22px\">Just remember never to take literally, nor hold anyone steadfastly to, any part of the idiom, especially the full version!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. &#8216;<strong>Pour Your Heart Out<\/strong>&#8216;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:22px\">Meaning: Confide freely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chchealthwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/pour-your-heart-out-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"Pour Your Heart Out\" class=\"wp-image-5752\" title=\"Pour Your Heart Out\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chchealthwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/pour-your-heart-out-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.chchealthwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/pour-your-heart-out-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.chchealthwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/pour-your-heart-out-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.chchealthwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/pour-your-heart-out.webp 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:22px\">When you\u2019ve been holding something back for long, and meet that one friend with whom you\u2019re so close that you can share everything, and to whom you feel comfortable confiding your most intimate thoughts and feelings, what\u2019s the first thing you do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:22px\">You pour your heart out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:22px\">Think of what you do when a container becomes full but there\u2019s more to come. You guessed it \u2013 you pour it out.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:22px\">So when your heart is brimming with joy or sadness, complaint or gratitude, and ecstasy or misery, find someone you feel safe confiding in, and pour your heart out is what you do.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:22px\">Only, this idiom suggests that for this to happen, your heart needs to be liquid, and we\u2019d say that\u2019s very appropriate, because only a fluid heart can be poured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. &#8216;<strong>Get to the Heart of the Matter<\/strong>&#8216;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:22px\">Meaning: Touch the most important aspect of an issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chchealthwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/get-to-the-heart-of-the-matter-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"Get to the Heart of the Matter\" class=\"wp-image-5755\" title=\"Get to the Heart of the Matter\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chchealthwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/get-to-the-heart-of-the-matter-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.chchealthwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/get-to-the-heart-of-the-matter-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.chchealthwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/get-to-the-heart-of-the-matter-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.chchealthwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/get-to-the-heart-of-the-matter.webp 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Get to the Heart of the Matter<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:22px\">There are times when you drop hints, use euphemisms, broach a subject, make allusions,&nbsp;dilly-dally, side-step, beat around the bush and generally hope to be understood without targeting the meat of the issue with precision and clarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:22px\">But instead if you are direct, pointed, unequivocal, clear and ask the right questions, and trying to pry out the most important truth, you\u2019re getting to the heart of the matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:22px\">And that\u2019s what wise people do to save time and spare complications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. &#8216;<strong>Take Heart<\/strong>&#8216;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:22px\">Meaning: Muster courage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:22px\">There are two ways of dealing with a setback.
