a thing is spoken about

res locuta est
Explanation:
It is from loquor.

Related to the past participle "locutus", English has "elocution", and the odd offshoot "interlocutor" - the straight man, particularly in American English in the ´20s and ´30s. "Hey Mr. Interlocutor!". Who should then respond, giving the comic the cue for his opening line.
