warts and all

The phrase "warts and all" is used to mean accepting or presenting a person or situation as they truly are, including all their flaws, imperfections, or unpleasant aspects. It implies a willingness to see and acknowledge the entirety of something, even if it may not be ideal or perfect. The phrase originates from the physical blemishes known as "warts," which are small, often unsightly growths on the skin.
