eat your heart out

somebody , eat your heart out!   ( humorous ) something   that   you   say   which   means   that   you  or  someone   you   know   can  do  something   better   than  a  person   who is  famous   for   doing   that   thing   I'm   taking   singing   lessons.   Celine   Dion,   eat   your   heart   out!

tell it like it is

Inf.   Speak   frankly.;   Tell   the   truth   no   matter   who   is   criticized   or   how   much   it   hurts.   Come  on  man,   tell  it  like  it  is! Well,   I've   got  to  tell  it  like  it  is. Wow, this just gets worse....Well, you "tell it like it is" Americans who voted for the narcissist...prepare to be screwed royally...

Survivorship bias

Survivorship bias , or  survival bias , is the  logical error  of concentrating on the people or things that "survived" some process and inadvertently overlooking those that did not because of their lack of visibility. This can lead to false conclusions in several different ways. The survivors may be actual people, as in a medical study, or could be companies or research subjects or applicants for a job, or anything that must make it past some selection process to be considered further.

stick by

1 . continue to support or be loyal to (someone), typically during difficult times. "I love him and whatever happens, I'll stick by him" synonyms: be loyal to, be faithful to, be true to, stand by, keep faith with, keep one's promise to "Rodney stuck by me when everyone else bailed out" 2 . another way of saying  stick to  below. I ran on a set of principles, and it doesn’t really matter which party is in charge or who the president is; I’m going to stick by my principles.

while we are at it

  The literal meaning is "at the same time." The figurative meaning used here is "It would make as much sense as what you suggest." It's a shortened way of arguing. "I was born in America as much as they were. Yes, their ancestors were in America earlier than mine were, but so were dinosaurs."
