what they said
To "wear one's heart on one's sleeve" means to have no pretense, to have everything out in the open, and to hide nothing. What You See Is What You Get.
It has a secondary connotation of one who is without guile, and who adores openly, without shame.
The term comes from Vaudeville, and the costumes used:
The practice of pulling Handkerchiefs out of sleeves (wrist cuffs) to wipe eyes for effect predates Vaudeville, but was used to ridiculous effect in Vaudeville.
"BooHooHoo, the Heroine cried", and all that.
The phrase is a rather cynical one, as are most Vaudeville phrases (Pig Show, Dog and Pony, Brat Spank, TDTGO, etc.), but it has endured to this day to mean Honest.
A person who's feeling get hurt easily. They cry at the drop of a hat.
