blurts out
Says without thinking
Blurts out means to say something suddenly and without thinking, often revealing something that should have been kept private or tactfully withheld: She blurted out the surprise before the guest arrived, He blurted out his feelings without considering the consequences.
The phrase emphasizes impulsiveness—words escaping before the speaker can stop them.
