slipped in

Entered without notice

Slipped in means inserted quietly or without drawing attention.

You might slip in a comment during conversation, slip in through a back door, or slip in a clause to a contract hoping no one notices.

The phrase suggests stealth or casualness—getting something included without fanfare: She slipped in a joke about his age.

He slipped in just before the doors closed.
