Letting people know your personal business even if you didn't really want them to know!! Happens a lot during arguments when tempers get heated and things get said which might later be regretted, if these "things" are overheard by third parties, it would be classed as "washing your dirty linen in public"!

It means to publish private stories.

"Don't wash your dirty linen in public" is an idiomatic phrase. It is used to stop someone to discuss private problems in public.

Example:

If a husband has some dispute with his wife, he should not discuss it in the family or relatives or children.
