sneaking in
Slipping through unnoticed
Sneaking in is entering somewhere quietly or secretly, typically to avoid detection or bypass normal entry: We caught him sneaking in through the back door.
It extends to introducing something subtly or without notice: She kept sneaking in references to her favorite show.
The phrase can describe fitting something into a tight schedule: I managed to sneak in a quick nap between meetings.
