Meaning:
- If you tell someone that your lips are sealed, you are promising them that you will keep a secret that they have told you.
- I cannot or will not reveal something private
Background:
The earliest known recording is from 1782 when Fanny Burney wrote in Cecilia - "I make it quite a principle to seal my lips from the moment I perceive him."
--------------------------------
Maowi the cat gently woke me up at 3am this morning. I went and cleaned his litter box and said : "I'll not tell Papa the bad business you did this morning." He looked at me and then looked away. I believe he trusted my words and understood that "my lips are sealed". But he didn't know I would tell the tale here. Oops ...
APAD: "My lips are sealed"
