I think you mean when someone says "They are blunt."
Blunt usually means harsh, impolite, unrefined, or insensitive.
It usually suggests lack of regard for the feelings of others.
For example: you can be blunt by refusing your daughter to have a sweet sixteen party because she didn't take out the trash every day, keeping a student from going to the bathroom when they really need to go, or not listening to what someone is really saying.

If a chick asks you if they are fat and you tell the truth, yea you're fat, then you are blunt.

It means they're tactless, straight to the point without caring about your feelings.
They tell it how it is, to the point of being hurtful.

They are "too the point." They don't flower things up, they just tell it like it is.
