Since most members here are middle-aged, I presume, I suggest an old slang term:"on the QT"

  • The slang term 'qt' is a shortened form of 'quiet'. There's no definitive source for the phrase 'on the q.t.', although it appears to be of 19th century British origin - not, as is often supposed, American. The longer phrase 'on the quiet' is also not especially old, but is first recorded somewhat before 'on the qt', in Otago: Goldfields & Resources, 1862

  • "on the Q.T. (alternative forms: on the qt, on the QT, on the q.t.) (idiomatic) Quietly; in a secretive manner; clandestinely. Wiktionary

e.g.

  • They told her on the Q.T. that she was being promoted.
  • They got married on the Q.T.
