slip in

Sneak through quietly

To slip in is to enter quietly or unobtrusively: She slipped in through the back door.

It also means to insert something casually or without drawing attention: He slipped in a reference to his promotion, Let me slip in a quick question.

The phrase suggests smoothness and minimal disruption—fitting something into a space or moment without forcing it.
