Sneaky Link
A secret or discreet romantic or sexual connection that is kept hidden from other people.
“They never posted each other because the relationship was only a sneaky link.”
Sneaky link can refer to the person, the secret meeting, or the arrangement itself. The phrase often implies privacy, casual intimacy, or circumstances the people involved do not want public.
Link has long been used informally for meeting up. Sneaky link became prominent through hip-hop, TikTok, and dating culture in the late 2010s and early 2020s.
