sneak in
Enter on tiptoe
To sneak in is to enter quietly or secretly, avoiding detection: We snuck in through the back door.
It extends to slipping something into place without drawing attention: She managed to sneak in a few jokes during the presentation.
The phrase often implies getting away with something—entering without paying, adding content others might object to, or fitting something into a tight schedule: Can you sneak me in for a quick appointment?
