Mum's the word

Keep it a secret · Don't tell anyone

What's the situation?

This is a super handy phrase for when you've shared some juicy gossip or a personal secret and want to make sure it stays under wraps! 🤐 It's like saying, "Keep this between us!" without sounding too formal. Perfect for when you trust your friend to be your personal secret keeper! 😉

conversation

off the record

unofficial · confidential · not for public disclosure

What's the situation?

Imagine you're chatting with a colleague about potential new projects, but you're sharing some early, undeveloped ideas that aren't ready for official meetings. This is when you'd preface your thoughts with 'off the record' to ensure they understand it's a private, informal discussion, not something to be quoted or formally documented. It's like saying 'just between us!' 😉
