Hello Hong,

To 'carry tales' means to repeat false or questionable stories about something that you have heard.

Kitosdad, perhaps you should carefully read the original question, and my answer.

He asked a question about the idiom 'carry tales', and I answered it. If you're not interested, don't comment, but at no point did I call him anything, except his name.
