spill the beans

Etymology
First attested in 20th century American English. One possible origin for the phrase is from an Ancient Greek practice of using different-coloured beans for voting, where spilling the jar containing them would unwantedly reveal the results, though this might be folk etymology.

Verb

 * 1)  To reveal a secret; to disclose information.
