With “thank you zone”, it’s the expression of the evening. It was notably used by the Prime Minister to describe the arrival of the flame. But what does it mean?
“The J is the S”. This absurd expression has kept coming up since the arrival of the Olympic flame in Marseille. But what does it mean and what does it have to do with the Olympic event? To understand the expression, let’s take a look at the context: this Wednesday, May 8, the legendary three-masted Belem docked in the Old Port of Marseille, with Florent Manaudou and the Olympic flame on board.
A mystery guest had been announced several days ago to light the Olympic cauldron. If many rumors echoed Zinedine Zidane, it was ultimately the rap star, Jul, who made his entrance. If the choice of the rapper divides Internet users on social networks, the Prime Minister congratulated the performance:
Beyond the performance, what attracts the most is undoubtedly this short catchphrase at the start of the tweet: “The J is the S”. This phrase, frequently used by young people, means “Jules is family”. Indeed, the “J” is Jul’s initial. The S is used to talk about “blood”a great classic used among young people meaning that two people are of “the same vein”or “from the same family”.
The phrase first appeared in the title Organized banda rap song from the collective album 13’Oranisé, performed by several rappers from Marseille, including… Jul.
