Hello and welcome back to Daily English! Today’s idiom is very practical: “keep a low profile.”
Say it with me: keep a low profile.
Clues / Guessing Examples – Imagine someone wins the lottery but doesn’t tell anyone. They don’t want too much attention, so they decide to keep a low profile.

Examples: After the argument at work, she decided to keep a low profile for a while.
Celebrities sometimes move abroad to keep a low profile away from the media.
When traveling, it’s smart to keep a low profile and not flash expensive jewelry.
The phrase comes from the idea of your “profile”—your outline or visibility. If you keep it low, you’re less noticeable, less visible, almost blending into the background.
Personal Question
So, what about you? Do you usually like to keep a low profile, or do you prefer being noticed?
