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.

public service announcement

The young woman in front of us at Target was wearing a tank top that didn't quite conceal her three back tattoos, blue and red plaid pajama bottoms and ladybug slippers. She bought:

A white shower puff
Bath soap
Tampax
A hammer and a box of 3-inch nails

I'm not sure why, but I have a suspicion that PMS has something to do with it.

Watch out, world.
