Old definition: madness induced by mercury fumes generated in factories that used this metal in hat fabrication.
Millenial definition: condition experienced by ambitious women who have to assume many roles in order to maintain diplomacy and harmony in a male dominated world.
The field of dentistry has confirmed the validity of this new definition by claiming that introduction of composite materials to replace amalgam restorations have shown no quantifiable impact on the behaviors of driven female practitioners.

If someone says you are mad as a hatter, they are accusing you of being quite irrational. The sense of madness here is "suffering from a disorder of the mind; insane." This phrase usually refers not to someone who is actually insane, but rather to a more normal person who is behaving in an irrational way.
The phrase emerged in England in the 19th century. Hatmakers in those days used a lot of felt that was treated with chemicals including lead, arsenic, and mercury.
Unfortunately, those chemicals are highly toxic. The symptoms of such poisoning include palsy, confused speech, and distorted thinking. Today, making hats is a much safer profession, but the phrase survives.
An interesting alternate explanation of the phrase derives hatter from Anglo-Saxon atter (poison), which is related to adder (a poisonous snake whose bite was thought to cause insanity).

This goes back to the time when the people in the hat industry wound up with mercury poisoning due to the process of manufacturing the felt for hats.

The act of cumming on your partner’s hair and immediately placing a hat on afterwards. Thus, making them a mad hatter from the amount of time it will take to completely remove your baby sauce.
