Gorilla's close relative

Share definition
We all know gorilla and black have genetic connection. There is an interesting thing that gorilla and black have a close relative called Maori. Maori may not look that black, and they even know how to use simple tools; like apemen. There is a scientific evidence shows that Gorilla may be Maori's ancestor.
A Maori History teacher asking students: "Who are our ancestors". Students reply in chorus, "Gorillas"

"Yes, we're gorilla's close relative"

To keep to oneself, to be secretive, to be very cautious in one's dealing with people and giving nothing much or nothing at all away. (As if one were playing cards and not permitting anyone to see any of the cards.)
"He is very cautious. He plays his cards close to his chest."

"You seem to be playing your cards close to your vest."

"Roy likes to play his cards close to his chest"

"To play one's cards close to one's chest is not nice etiquette"

While playing one's cards close to one's chest often refers to secretive behavior, it is nowadays being used as a euphemism for breast binding.

A lesbian or trans man may be referred to as someone who plays their cards close to their chest, especially when one is not sure what pronouns to use.
Oh, that's not a man, that's Hannah. She's got great tits but she's a butch and prefers to play her cards close to her chest.

That's Taylor, he can't play tag with us because he's playing his cards close to his chest and we don't want his lungs collapsing.

I saw Alex at the gym yesterday! It was pretty shocking because she usually plays her cards close to her chest but I guess she just uses a sports bra for working out.

Playing one's cards close to one's chest should be done safely and intermittently.

This is actually a word that sounds like a phrase, there's a very subtle difference. The meaning of which is to describe something that has an inferior quality about it. It is essentially a derogatory phrase (..err I mean word)
"Do you like my new shirt?" "... Mate, That's-not-even-close-to-Mozart"

"I reckon this cake I made is delicious" "What are you on about? That's-not-even-close-to-Mozart"

The situation, when you almost got in the any trouble, but the last moment you didn't. You got lucky.
