Let's return to our rams (Revenons à nos moutons) - synonym: let's go back to the matter, to the topic (like Latin: ad rem).
The word comes from the French farce: Farsy of Peter the Patelin of the 15th century (La Farce du Maître Pathelin). The title character is a fraudulent attorney who tricked six cloth elves from a dresser. When the victim was still robbed, he decided to pursue his case in court. He wanted the rampant thief to defend the lawyer in this court of fraud. At the trial, the dressmaker was constantly mixing the matter of the cloth and the rams, so that the judge had to constantly call him back, saying: Let's return to our rams!
