I said a few words to the effect that all he had told me was

already well known.

Are you asking what this means or just saying it to say it?

@FoodWaterWifi Thank you for asking. I wonder if you native speakers use this expression in spoken English and how you usually use it.

@花非花 This sounds formal/written. It’s perfectly good English, though. In spoken English we would say “I told him I already knew everything he had told me” Or even more informally “I told him I already knew all that”

@FoodWaterWifi Thanks. That is exactly what I want to know.
