C.Q.F.D.8

1. "Q" and "Cul" are phonetically the same in French (Cul = Ass), indeed we don't pronounce the last "L" that ends "cul" in French2. "Cul" = Ass in French3. "J'en ai vu des CONS (slang)" - "I've seen (in sense of meet) a lot of IDIOTS (TWATS - slang)" - is mirrored here in connection with the first line of the previous verse: "J'en ai vu des culs" (I've seen a lot of asses). Here, it's in fact a question of taking the exact French etymology of the slang word "con" which means at the base "vagina" (twat/cunt) but which one uses now to designate a stupid person: "Un con" exactly like we do in English with "twat" or "cunt".

This is also why at the end of the song she talks about the passion for "semantics" that she shares with her partner.

Here she expresses her love of words and how one can hide here and there esoteric formulas that even a familiar with the language will have difficulty detecting. Because a lot of French use everyday the slang word "con" without really knowing that means "vagina"4. Here, Mylène Farmer deliberately pauses between the first and the second syllable of the word "complètement" (completely), here again, to mean "CON" (twat or cunt)5. implies a statue of Rodin like the famous "Rodin's thinker" for example.

Auguste Rodin was born in Paris on November 12, 1840, and died in Meudon on November 17, 1917. He's one of the most important French sculptors of the second half of the 19th century. He's also considered the father of modern sculpture.6. See the explanations contained in tag number 37. In French, it's the same word (langue) that's used to describe the appendix of the mouth "the tongue" or to describe a language.

For example, in French we say:

- "Son café était bouillant, il s'est brûlé la LANGUE." (His coffee was boiling, he burned his TONGUE)

or:

- "L'anglais est sa LANGUE native" (English is his native LANGUAGE)

This is why Mylène Farmer has fun with the ambiguity of this double meaning in French.8. C.Q.F.D. Acronym for: "Ce Qu'il Fallait Démontrer" (What had to be demonstrated)
