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.

Bush go boom

Yesterday, while riding his mountain bike in Gleneagles, Scotland, President Bush collided with a police officer and fell to the asphalt, scraping his hands and arms. This is the second time that Bush has fallen off his bike in as many months. Ironically, he reportedly took up biking in lieu of running because it’s easier on his knees. So far, not so good.

Add this to the list of things to keep away from Dubya:

1) Bikes (or anything without training wheels)
2) Pretzels
3) Power
