Is there a sentence or a word for an English-speaker to express this concept: a thing that is supposedly a secret, but everyone knows it, but still behave as if it were a secret?
Since there's a precise term in Italian for that, I was recently wondering that I wouldn't know how to express that concisely in English.
"open secret"
Curious... what is the term for that in Italian?
"Segreto di Pulcinella" (the French, "secret de Polichinelle", is the same)
