"blunt talking and straight shooting"
"a blunt New England farmer"
"I gave them my candid opinion"
"forthright criticism"
"a forthright approach to the problem"
"tell me what you think--and you may just as well be frank"
"it is possible to be outspoken without being rude"
"plainspoken and to the point"
"a point-blank accusation"
"point-blank range"
"a point-blank shot"
"I asked him point-blank whether he wanted the job"
To crush our line with a heavy point-blank musketry fire.
