(AAVE, sexuality) The state of being a man who secretly sleeps with other men.
I sleep with men, but I am not bisexual, and I am certainly not gay. I am not going to your clinics, I am not going to read your brochures, I am not going to get tested. I assure you that none of the brothers on the down low like me are …

(figuratively, by extension) Restrained, subtle, not trying to attract attention.
- 'low72%
To allow; to acknowledge or admit.
- low key real70%
A softened but sincere acknowledgment of a truth that someone might be slightly embarrassed to admit fully — said casually to avoid the weight of a full confession while still being honest. Low key real is how you cop to something true without making it a big deal: you're admitting it, but quietly, with plausible deniability still intact. It's the slang equivalent of a mumbled confession that everyone hears clearly. Extremely common as a response to observations that are a little too accurate to fully endorse but impossible to deny.
