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.

Get the keep it under one's hatmug. Thunder in the land down under* is a colloquial term to describe hot, passionate, energetic sex. If you've ever wanted a new term to 'spice up' your sex life, thunder in the land down under is the perfect way to describe it.
It conveys meanings of the best sexual experience one has ever had - something wild and crazy that leaves you breathless and panting, but wanting more.
*not geographically limited to sex in Australia, can be used anywhere in the world.
