Reader's Digest 10月号の記事 "We Found A Fix" からの引用です。
If you put on a fresh shirt only to discover a telltale streak of white deodorant residue, don't despair. Just rub another article of clothing (a shirt or a sock, for instance) against it to transfer the stain. If you're already out when you notice a smudge, the sleeve or an inside area of your shirt will do.
"telltale" から私は直ぐ '暴露する（人）'、特に人、告げ口をする人や密告人を連想してしますのですが、人の他にも "telltale" する物があることは以前（9/9/2015）既に学んだはずですが...
・Cambridge English Dictionary: allowing a secret to become known: She found lipstick on his shirts - the telltale sign that he was having an affair.
