What does "right up front" mean? Is it physical or "first of all"?

ex)Let's deal with a cliche right up front : figures lie and liars figure. Like most cliches, it contains a grain of truth...

Hi keannu,

IMO, it means right before we start with a deeper discussion, before we speak of anything else. See the definition of "up front" in thefreedictionary.com
