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.

Thanks to Jimmy for the poster of the quads and the only picture of the impressive Cheez-it spread. Even if the picture does make our place look like the inside of an evil alien spaceship.

A PhotoShopped picture of the quads, a friend with access to a gigantor printer, a bunch of empty CD cases, and velcro.

(I recommend eyeballing the placement of the CDs on the wall, as the use of a level only emphasizes just how crooked your apartment actually is.)
