dad's the word ο χαζομπαμπάς Explanation: Αρχικά Mum's the word (Mum = Μμμμ) με παρασχετισμό προς το "μαμά" Mum's the word Meaning Keep quiet - say nothing. Origin Mum; not mother but 'mmmmm', the humming sound made with a closed mouth. Used by Shakespeare in Henry VI, Part 2: "Seal up your lips and give no words but mum." http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/251850.html |
