This expression inspired the character of the Mad Hatter in "Alice in Wonderland," but it existed before that. It may have been suggested by the fact that hat-makers sometimes suffered from mercury poisoning that made them behave erratically.

No, it's crystal clear for meMurielB a écrit:...

"Mum's the word" is an expression used by Shakespeare (Henry VI, Part 2, Act 1, Scene 2), so please don't criticize saying it's poor English LOL.
I guess you understand "mother" but it's not that!
(Wikipedia)"Mum" is a Middle English word meaning "silent". The word may be derived from the "mummer" who does pantomime and just acts without saying anything. Note the phonetically similar German word "stumm" (Old High German "stum", Latin "mutus") meaning "silent, mute".

Relative Clauses in English

Interesting.
I can read: "Who (that) for people; Which/that for things".
I'm satisfied to read what I learned at school, though I don't like "that" for men.
However I'm relieved not to read "who for things" though I sometimes meet this!
