In modern slang terminology, the word 'closet' is most famous for its association with the idiomatic expression 'in the closet', which means keeping one's sexual orientation, gender identity, personal beliefs, or private hobbies hidden from family, friends, or the general public. Coming 'out of the closet' describes the process of openly revealing that identity to the world. Additionally, in general pop culture, it can metaphorically describe any hidden secret, private space, or concealed stash of items.
