Mum's The Word
Mum's The Word means to keep a secret. This actually has nothing to do with mothers. Instead it's related to the sound "mmmm" we use with tightly closed lips to indicate we have nothing to say on a subject. Though the phrase was first recorded in 1540, it's thought to be at least 200 years older.
