"To have such an immoral and lewd plan coming out from you, what a surprise."
— Haruna to Nodoka, Mahou Sensei Negima!
Uncharacteristically suggestive comments and thoughts from a character usually considered pure and innocent. Sometimes this is played straight and shows that a character is mature or smart enough to notice subtle themes their friends don't. Most of the time it's a trait given to a shy character to show they're not quite as mousy and meek as we think. Usually cued by fantasy segues becoming more and more lewd.
This will always be fiercely denied by the character, especially if they're cantankerous and dismissive. The more comedic princess-like types often get this too, until it turns into a more overt Running Gag.
Note that the title refers to covertness in the figurative sense, not the literal. This trope is also Truth in Television — you know who you are. Don't say it, otherwise you won't be one anymore. If the Covert Pervert is outed they may be subject to a girl getting set to Pervert Revenge Mode or even an Unprovoked Pervert Payback.
Probably due to the often-seen Double Standard that women should not show their sexuality openly, over half of the examples of this trope are female, while perverted male characters tend to be obvious.

A covert pervert could be defined as something like:
''Guy 1: Hey you know that girl from class?''
''Guy 2: You mean the nerdy, shy and insecure girl?''
''Guy 1: Yeah her. I bet the last thing we would ever hear from her are for her to say something dirty.''
''Nerdy guy: Whaow that villian's sword is pretty big''
''Girl: *mumbles* I bet that isn't the only thing he got that is big...''

A Covert Courtesan is an escort who is extremely Under The Radar (UTR), so much so she may actually be a "Unicorn." Though hidden from public, the Covert Courtesan is the best lay in the city.
John: Who is that?
Me: THAT is, Cain . . . Candi Cain, the Covert Courtesan! She is so hot and great in the sack they created a new phrase for her. "The Covert Courtesan Experience." She is shagadelic!

Dude, back when I was in high school I banged this nasty chick Heather and had to pull the ol' covert crab a day or two later.

(n) An action wherein an individual, unbeknownst to the rest of the group, returns to a fried chicken platter several hours after purchase for another helping.
Prior to the 1 PM kickoff, Dune brought a 22-piece Popeye's special to the party. At 4 PM, Meals quietly got up for a Covert Chicken.

Type of clothing that costs a lot of money but doesn't look expensive. Only smug owner and the fashion police know its real value.
1. With a wardrobe filled with Chanel's polyester paisley collection, she must be into covert couture.
2. Fashion disasters and covert couture junkies like Paris Hilton & Britney Spears who wear expensive and exclusive clothing that looks like it came from a hooker's trash can.
3. Cashmere socks that cost $600.

The unreported and undisclosed COVID infections among individuals with the capability to temporarily remove themselves from society until fully recovered.
Hey, has anyone heard from Mary?
Yeah, it's rather strange. I haven't seen her for a couple of weeks.
It's probably just covert COVID. She'll surface soon enough.
