Expression USED On Occasion BY Most People

Zsákbamacska ("cat in the sack") is a gambling game at fairs where you can buy one sack out of a bunch of identical sacks but you never know what it contains, it is always a surprise. If you sell zsákbamacska you are hiding your true intentions, you are being secretive and probably not completely honest.

"Ne félj, én nem árulok zsákbamacskát!"

"Don't be afraid, I don't sell cat in the sack!"
