What does no decir ni mu mean?

ExpressionColoquial

not to say a word

Mu is the noise a cow makes: not even that. It covers somebody silent from shyness and also somebody silent from discretion, which is a different thing: no dijo ni mu cuando se lo conté. Very common and not remotely vulgar.

Estuvo toda la reunión sin decir ni mu.
Total silence, and somebody noticed.
