How it's used
Implies a sense of stealth or lack of belonging, often suggesting that the person is trying to blend in where they might not be invited or expected. It carries a slightly conspiratorial or secretive tone compared to simply joining a group. Use it when describing someone infiltrating a social circle or sneaking into a restricted area.
Examples
He mingled with the group of students to play together.
How did you manage to sneak into that party?
