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.

give this man a cape

A few days ago on a flight to Los Angeles Dr. Robert Rey (or “Dr. 90210” as he is called on his plastic surgery/big boob reality show on E!) helped restrain a passenger who caused a disturbance before the aircraft was scheduled to land. This article reports the terrifying event:

Dr. Robert Rey, a plastic surgeon who practices martial arts, told The Associated Press he got out of his seat and intervened when he heard the man make a "big noise" as he pushed a female flight attendant toward the cockpit.

"When you get a black belt, at that stage your brain just clicks into action," the doctor said. "I restrained this gentleman in a very aggressive way without hurting him."

The elderly non-English speaking gentleman who caused the ruckus was described as “very frail” and somewhat mentally unstable.

Thank God there was a plastic surgeon on board.
