Secrets Vocabulary! - Learn English with Blabbing with Becky

Hey guys! Okay today on Blabbing With Becky

We're gonna learn how to identify and keep secrets

because some people, Ashley! do not know that you shouldn't blab about my armpit fungus

Okay some people don't know when a secret is a secret

So let's look at some vocabulary to tell someone:

"Hey Ashley, this is a secret don't tell anyone!"

What happens on this channel stays on this channel

Our first expression is:

Do not breathe a word of this to anyone

For example:

Okay but like don't breathe a word of this to anyone like I trust you and everything

but I have the biggest crush and this guy Justin in my art class

he has the coolest face and beard only any so good at sports

and oh my god I'm blushing

Okay okay next expression!

keep it to yourself keep it quiet keep it on the DL

What's "The DL"?

"The Down Low" so you could say "Keep it on the Down Low!"

For example:

Okay oh my god I have a secret

Keep it on the down low, or keep it on the DL

Maria from our school is dating mr. Bunsen the science teacher!

Okay let's go to the phones

Who is our first caller? What's your secret?

- Hey it's Ashley! - Oh my god hey Ashley

Sorry about that armpit fungus thing

Oh my god Ashley! it's fine! Just shush!

Is the fungus cream working? is it getting better?

Oh my God Ashley!

Okay so my secret is, but like, don't tell your friend Jenny

she's a crazy gossip

A super gossip!

Keep it on the DL! Jaymee's pregnant!

Yeah and word on the street is, Justin Bieber is the father!

Oh my god! No way!

Hailey Baldwin is gonna be super pissed!

Okay Ashley thank you for calling

We'll come back to the phones later

but our next expression is:

Keep it under your hat!

or "keep it schtum!"

I know! This one sounds more British, I know, ew!

But it's worth mentioning because people do use it often

and again it just means "Don't tell anyone!"

okay let's get back to the phones Who's the next caller? and what's your secret?

Try to use that expression please!

Hey it's Jaymee!

Oh my god Jaymee, um..

did you hear the last caller?

What? No I just got the notification that your'e live now

okay good

Okay so keep it under your hat but I have an infection in my bum

Oh my god is so itchy Becky, but like keep it schtum!

Oh god Jaymee! I don't think you know how this show works

we have to meet soon I've got some beans to spill!

Yeah I wonder what that could be

okay bye Jaymee!

Oh my god! Jaymee!

Okay the next one is super weird:

keep mum

I know it's so weird!

but again it's just a way to tell someone:

"Hey keep it a secret! Don't tell anyone!"

The next expression is:

"This stays between you and me" "This stays between us" or "This stays in this room only!"

This one is a bit more formal

so maybe if you're in a business meeting or a more formal situation

You may want to use these expressions

Okay let's take our last caller

Hey it's Justin!

Hey Justin!

Oh my god!

I still have your pen by the way!

Pen?

I mean, sorry, um, you gave me a pen last year

It's fine just

if you want it back I can I can give it to you I can come to your house

Sorry what's your secret?

So like keep it on the DL I got this huge crush on a girl!

Oh my god really?!

Yeah she's in my art class!

WHAT!? I mean um

Really? Wow!

So, like, I probably know her then huh?

You definitely know her, she's she's super close to you!

Oh my god it's happening!

Okay it's Ashley

but it's between US, Becky! You're like my sister, you're my best friend!

Okay
