"being on the DL" or "being on the Down Low"

A phrase often misused by white men or women to refer to something secretive.
Per Wikipedia (sex slang) and the Urban Dictionary
This is a reference used by African-American men exclusively for themselves to identify those in that community who are straight (not closeted gay or bisexual) that secretively have sex with other men "on the down low."
The phrase has not been accepted by the African-American, other minority communities or the white community for any other use at present according to current literature on the topic.
