to keep quiet about something; my lips are sealed.

came from Shakespeare quote:
"Seal up your lips and give no words but mum."
person 1: "Please don't tell anyone about my affair."

person 2: "Don't worry i won't. Mums the word."

MUMs The Word

Shackteâu

A Shackteau is a humble, weather-beaten, structurally questionable shelter located in a spectacular or highly coveted place—Wales, Jackson Hole, Sun Valley, Crested Butte, coastal Maine, the Alps—where the building itself may be worth almost nothing, but the dirt, view, access, and mythology make it absurdly valuable.
In use:
Shackteâu - We thought it was an abandoned shed until the realtor called it a rare alpine Shackteâu with unobstructed views and listed it for $2 million.
