Jerome,
Here are a few idioms with the word "straight".
-to straighten someone out = To help someone become less confused about something.
-to set someone straight = To correct (someone) by providing full and accurate information.
-to tell it straight = To tell the truth.
Let me straighten you out about our fight...I won, not you!
I want to set you straight about the fight... I beat you so badly that you ran home crying to your mother.
Why don't you tell it straight? I won the fight not you.

A "straight man" is a member of a comedy team. The straight man supports the main comedian by setting up jokes.
