बंद jar में रखी beans गिर जाएँ तो अंदर का सब कुछ बाहर बिखर जाता है और सबको दिख जाता है। वैसे ही spill the beans = भेद खोल देना। 'Let the cat out of the bag' का भी यही meaning है।

Picture a sealed jar of beans that tips over: everything that was hidden inside spills out for all to see. In the same way, when you spill the beans, a secret comes out. 'Let the cat out of the bag' means the same.
