| May 1, 2020 at 20:37 | comment | added | ColleenV | "Let's keep it among us" is not idiomatic. Some native speakers might mistakenly say it when they are over-correcting themselves (like inappropriately using "I" instead of "me"), but "Just between {us/you and me/you and me and the bedpost/etc}." is an idiom and the regular "rules" of among and between don't apply. | |
