dirty linen

"The army is known for not wanting to wash its dirty linen in public," Hadiza Ado, founder of Women and Children Initiative, told the BBC.

As soon as I was decent, she led me past the dirty linen and out into the baking sun.

"It is still very much a work in progress. An awful lot has been said between the two. So much dirty linen has been put out in the public, so to speak."

I pick up the dirty laundry because the truck comes at 5 and we want to give him as much dirty linen as possible.

Hauling the dirty linen can be tough sometimes for Layher, who stands not quite 5 feet, 2 inches.
