Law (general) / very straight mouth
English term or phrase: (very) straight mouth
_ Was there a written agreement?

_ Well, there has been very straight mouth with the agreement, but let me say that most agreements were verbal.

Se trata de una oración que aparece en la transcripción de una audiencia judicial. Parecería que quiere decir que el tema "se había conversado" solamente, pero no logro encontrar la expresión en inglés así tal cual aparece aquí, así que ni siquiera sé si existe o si la transcripción está mal.

¡Gracias!
