zipped lips
Mouth staying shut
Zipped lips describes a mouth kept firmly shut, as if sealed by a zipper.
The phrase implies secrecy or discretion—a promise not to reveal something: My lips are zipped.
Often appears as a command or reassurance: Zip your lips!
The gesture of drawing fingers across closed lips accompanies the expression.
