WHAT DOES "SAY IT TO MY FACE" MEAN?
urbandictionary.com* has several entries for "say it to my face". All of those reader submitted definitions agree that "Say it to my face" is a retort that is directed to someone who is insulting or saying something critical about someone outside of that person's presence. The person who is being talked about dares the insulter to repeat what he or she said in front of them, The implication is that the insulter would be too scared to do that since they would have to face the consequences of their words.
*WARNING: urbandictionary.com features reader submitted definitions. All of the urbandictionary.com entries for "say it to my face" happen to include profanity and some also include sexually explicit language.
The earliest urbandictionary.com entry for "say it to my face" was published in 2010 and the latest entry for that saying was published in 2020. It's likely that the saying "Say it to my face" predates 2010.
