言いうだけ野や暮ぼ

expression

it's tactless to state the obvious; that's best left unsaid

Used when pointing out something obvious would be crude or insensitive; often implies the listener already knows. A fixed expression.

• 彼かれが遅ち刻こくした理り由ゆうは言いうだけ野や暮ぼだよ。

  It would be tactless to spell out why he was late.

• あの二人ふたりの関かん係けいは言いうだけ野や暮ぼだから、そっとしておこう。

  Their relationship is best left unsaid, so let's leave it alone.
