इधर-उधर की बातें छोड़िए और सीधे point-to-point बात कीजिए। Brass tacks यानी situation के सबसे important और ठोस facts, और उन तक get down करना यानी असली मुद्दे पर आना।

Leave the small talk and come straight to the point. Brass tacks stand for the hard, basic facts of a situation, and getting down to them means dealing with what really matters.
