2: '(특정한 방식으로)표현/설명하다'의 put
- That's one way to put it. 그렇게 보실 수도 있겠네요.
3: That's just not my thing.

#1: subtle 미묘한, 감지하기 힘든, 섬세한

Subtle difference. Did you catch that?
Is this your subtle way of saying that I'm out of shape? 내가 몸이 엉망이란 걸 돌려 말하는 거야?

There's no subtle way to put this. 섬세하게 돌려 말할 수 있는 방법이 없다.(대놓고 말할게)
*Collins: When you put an idea or remark in a particular way, you express it in that way(특정한 방식으로 표현/설명하다)

That's correct. Well put.

B: Well, I can't put it any better than Ted did.
The Winter Collection?
Do you have anything to contribute?

더 잘 표현/설명할 방법이 딱히 생각나지 않을 때

There's not really an easy way to put this.
I can't think of a better way to put this, but it's definitely not my thing.
I was just trying to be subtle, and that's not my thing.
티 안나게 하려고 하는데 그건 내 스타일이 아니잖아.
#3: That's not my thing. 그건 내 취향/관심사가 아니야, 그건 내가 잘 하는 게 아니야.

+++
That's your specialty.
*Collins 사전: Someone's specialty is a particular type of work that they do most or do best, or a subject that they know a lot about.

I could definitely use your brainpower.
