slips in

Enters without notice

To slip in is to enter quietly or unobtrusively, often without drawing attention: She slipped in through the back door.

It also means to insert something casually into conversation or text: He slipped in a joke about the boss.

The phrase suggests stealth or subtlety—something added without fanfare or noticed arrival.
