In this case, "spare me" means "don't tell me" or "don't bother me with".
So the person is saying "Don't bother me with the details..." or "Don't tell me the details..." or "Omit the details...", etc.

Thank you for your explanation. :)

1.Does save me the details if you dont mind mean the same as spare me the details if you dont mind?
2.Does could you spare me $100 means the same as could you give me $100 if you have it
Thank you in advance |
