autant pour moi

LL-Q150 (fra)-Lepticed7-autant pour moi.wav

Whether the true orthography is autant pour moi or au temps pour moi is unknown. The two co-exist and have their proponents:
1) autant pour moi: an elliptic form of the expression « C'est autant pour moi », or « C'est autant d'erreur que l'on peut mettre à mon actif » (~ those are mistakes one can attribute to me). This version is defended by French writer and translator Claude Duneton.
2) au temps pour moi: according to the Académie Française, au temps ! originally meant to start all over again in the military (reprendre, recommencer). Then more extensively, it began to be used to agree to a mistake, and to agree to "start all over again" so as not to do it again. But this explanation is criticised by some people considering that this form is a pedantic respelling of autant pour moi.

c'est parti, mon kiki

c’est parti (canonical)
mon kiki ! (canonical)

c’est parti mon kiki
c'est parti mon kiki#French

Alternative spelling of c’est parti mon kiki


c'est parti mon kiki

While the beginning of the phrase translates literally to "it has started," there is no consensus on the second part of the phrase, "my kiki."
Although the word "kiki" in slang can refer to the male sexual organ, the phrase as a whole does not have sexual connotations, and is not taken as vulgar.
Various internet discussion boards suggest that "kiki" is simply a cute rhyme for "parti," since the phrase "C'est parti" can exist on its own without changing the meaning of the full phrase.
Others maintain that the addition of "mon kiki" to the phrase was thanks to the popularity of Monchhichi, a Japanese toy sold globally in the late 1970s and beyond, which was sold under the name "Kiki" in France.
