Mr Paul

'Make a clean breast' is an idiomatic expression meaning- 'To tell the truth about something so that you no longer feel guilty'.

To make a clean breast is to lay or say the truth about something and giving a suitable solution to that very problem, be it a mis-understanding or a disagreement.
