Smile and keep silence. Used when you know the answer, but do not want to say it or there is some force stop you from telling it out.

Lucy asked me how do you think of her dance. I think that's bad but I don't want to hurt her, so I just smilence.

smilence 

Smile meaningfully but keep silence.

Smilence occurs when you know what is going on, but decided not to speak it out. However your smile betrayed your attempt.

You do smilence because that you do not want to hurt others' feeling or harm yourself; or the answer is forbidden to say or too trivial or simply useless.

When the party says that freedom of speech is a fundamental right of Chinese citizen endorsed by the constitution, the shitizens all keep their smilence.

"Why are you smilent! Who do you think is more beautiful, Helen or me?" my girfired asked me.

Smilence 

A graceful act of restraint, when you know you’re right, but choose to stay silent and simply smile instead, for the sake of peace, dignity, or not feeding the chaos.

Example:
“I wanted to correct him so badly, but I chose smilence instead. He was so happy, and the moment didn’t need my ego.”

Origin: Coined by Steven Marque, smilence is the spiritual cousin of “grace under pressure,” the quiet twin of mic drops, and the peacekeeper’s preferred weapon.

the silence is deafening 

When way up in the mountains with no sounds, the silence does indeed get to be screamingly loud & deafening!

I doubted what I heard about the silence is deafening until I experienced it firsthand. What an amazing phenomena!

companionable silence 

To be able to sit comfortably with another without the need to speak.

A couple sat on the couch, each reading their own books quietly & contentedly in companionable silence.

Gay silence 

When people start talking about straight stuff and you’re totally gay but no one knows it even though you’d think it’d be pretty obvious by now so you’re just sitting there like yeah cool guys—it’s like an inside joke with yourself.

Practically invented by Jodie Foster

“What kind of fella would you like?”
*gay silence*
