You are adding to Keep mum. What is already there stays, we only add yours.

Your voice

Say it out loud, 3 to 60 seconds. Reading it is not the same as hearing it.

Explain in a street-style audio what it means and give an example of how it is used. That is all we need.

Where is it said? Where the expression is used, which need not be only your own patch.

Real-life examples
  • Boss said keep mum about the redundancy list, but Dave had already texted the whole team before the kettle even boiled.
  • My nan said to keep mum about the surprise birthday for grandad, then promptly told the butcher, the postwoman and three random strangers at the bus stop on the way to Tesco.
  • Keep mum about the new manager being the boss daughter, the rumour mill will spin on its own, we do not need to add fuel to the conversation by the kettle on Monday morning.
  • I told you to keep mum about me leaving the job, and now my auntie’s sent a thumbs-up text like she’s my career manager.
  • Keep mum till Friday, yeah? If Sophie clocks the surprise too early, the whole thing turns into sad party confetti.
The way it is really said, not the way a dictionary would say it.
