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.

for Baby E, on his belated early birthday

Work cuz you're gonna need money,
Love like you might catch something contagious,
And fart like no one else is in the elevator.
