"Quisquose" is always a large point of contention, it's a Cocteau Twins song, and they are reputed to be genius, obscure, hipster shit(they're neither of the former). Their frontwoman maintains this definition and this is the only one that I could fact-check in a reasonable period of time. I found out about it from some avenue a long time ago, but not the Cocteau Twins, found them about 3 years ago(think I was searching for the definition, actually). Anyway, that's the sort of point that I'm clarifying and hitherto, it'll just be that way. (Despite the fact that I can't rationalize the etymology of it).
