What does "kiki" mean? I understand it in context, but wonder if it has a life of its own. Thanks.

Hi Carol,
I must admit that I had no idea where the well- used expression :
‘C’est parti mon kiki !'
came from but after a bit or research I found this French page with some explanation -
https://www.expressio.fr/expressions/c-est-parti-mon-kiki
Hope you like it!

The explanation to which you referred was interesting -- but not very illuminating. I will just accept that "C'est parti mon kiki!" is an idiom for which there is no comprehensible (or rational) explanation! I appreciate your investigation into it. Thanks!
