Clamz
The need to keep quiet about an impending event, or an event with a positive outcome that has already taken place, in order not to jinx a future outcome.
Derives from the word Clam, a bivalve seashell with the ability to shut its valves tight to prevent anything from coming in to or out of the enclosed space housing the organism itself.
