Literally, “to make the curious talk”—the French’s notorious explain-all reason given to account for why things are the way they are, without really explaining anything. Often used as a snappish comeback to questions posed by inquisitive children who just won’t shut up. Generally emphasized with a shrug and at least one contemptuously raised eyebrow.

ode to a pizza

Oh glorious pizza,
with your melted cheese and crunchy crust,
and your mushroom, bell pepper and olive toppings,
you are a giant edible frisbee of perfection.
You fill my tummy when it is rumbly,
and even hardened criminals cannot resist you.
Whether there is nothing in my fridge,
or I have forgotten to thaw meat for dinner,
or there is a hostage situation at a maximum security prison,
you always pull through.
I love you.
