keep it under one’s hat
keep something a secret.
there are four origins of this idiom (i guarantee it):
– english archers protected their bows by putting the strings on their heads under their helmets;
– “keep it under our hat” was mentioned in 1982 in periodical “gleanings in bee culture”;
– president abraham lincoln’s stove pipe hat, where he kept important papers;
– the ceremonial swordbearer of the lord mayor of london (can be dated to 1420), who keeps the key to the lord mayor’s seal of office in a special pocket in his hat.
-keep it under one’s hat-

chandler: well uh, there was acting cl-sses, stage combat cl-sses, tap cl-sses…
joey: which we’re still keeping under our hats!
