This is an abbreviation for “keep it on the downlow,” which means to keep something quiet, hush-hush, keep it a secret, don’t spread it around.
Ex. “So some uncle that I hardly knew kicked the bucket, and he left me a hundred grand in his will!!! But keep it on the DL, otherwise all my friends will come asking for money.”
“kicked the bucket”
A not very polite expression meaning to die. See example above.

“Not in a row?!!”
At my martial arts school whenever the instructor was like “200 squats… go” this one guy would say “Not in a row?!!” because when he went to a dep labeled 24/7 to get weird food for his pregnant wife the owner was closing up. When he pointed out the sign the owner responded, “not in a row”
Example: Mat BR says, we’re going to do 8 sprints on the seaway Adam and go climbing.
I would respond. “Not in a row?!!”
