Definition
Confidentially; something said in private that should not be shared with others.
Etymology
This phrase has been used since at least the 17th century to establish confidentiality between speakers. It creates an intimate conversational space by explicitly defining the boundaries of who should know the information being shared, functioning as both a request for discretion and a signal of trust.
Kelly Says
Grammatically, this phrase is often 'corrected' to 'between you and I' by people trying to sound more educated, but 'between you and me' is actually correct since 'between' requires the objective case. The phrase is also psychologically fascinating because it instantly creates intimacy and conspiracy between speakers, making the listener feel specially trusted with secret information.
