Hi<br/><br/>So if I had feeling for someone which I had been hiding for some time, could I say to my friend: I had to tell her to get it off my chest?<br/><br/>I see thefreedictionary give a slightly different definition ( <a href="http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/get+off+chest"><a href='http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/get+off+chest' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/get+off+chest</a> </a>) so I had to ask.
