informal for- announce/inform somebody about something
I feel there's a phrasal verb which would mean -to announce something/ to inform somebody about something important, like in the sentences -

'So, when are you planning to ...... your parents that you're moving out soon? '
or
"When will you ....to your boss that you're quitting? "

what informal word/phrasal verb/expressions could we use in such sentences, to imply that what the speaker says will have a strong impact/maybe shock the other party?

Thank you.

Answer

well for the first one you could say "let your parents know"
and for the second you could say "tell your boss" those are more common and less formal than "to inform or announce"
