The only meaning I know is to keep something on the down low means to keep it secret.

In baseball, the announcer sometimes says, "He missed down low," which means the pitcher threw a pitch that missed the strike zone below the batter's knees.
That's the only meaning I can think of right now.
Btw, what's your definition of "down low"?
Oh, ok, "on the down low" is the full expression. I've heard that one. I thought you just wanted "down low."

On the "down low" is a phrase commonly used in the African American community to describe a man who identifies as straight but who has sex with men in secret.

To keep something on the DL-down low means to keep quiet about it; keep it a secret or between yourself and those who know.

don't you watch Oprah? there was a show my wife watched that told about men on "the down low". usually used in the african-american community describing a man who is straight(?) but has some guy friends on the DL that he has sexual encounters with.

Well, if you use it like this, "keep it on the down low." That means, keep it between us, like a secret.
I would probably be reported if I told you what the other meaning was.

It means to either keep something quiet or a gay may who is married. (he is on the DL, I saw it on Oprah). I thought there was only one meaning too, until I saw that episode.

It usually refers to a heterosexual man who occasionally has sex with other men on the "down low" (on the side, keeping it a secret).
