What does "cou de la" mean?

[mercanucaribe]

Krazee Eyez Killah says something that sounds like that, and is probably French. How is it spelled and what does it mean?

Urbandictionary fails

1. coup de la
Close; tight; can keep a secret without talking, especially to the other guy's lady.
Man, I thought we were coup de la? Why'd you go and tell her that?

According to urbandictionary.

Translates to "Blow of" according to Google.

Holy crap. I figured it was spelled with a p like "coup de etat" and "coup" but for some reason didn't type the p when I searched. Thanks.

Edit: So "coup" means blow? Like a blow dealt to a government? Doesn't really make sense here..

Edit: Also I knew what it meant when Krazee said it, just not the French meaning.

Coup de gras maybe? Final blow/death blow.

i always thought it was "cool de la" like a play on "de la soul"...

Coup -> Cut
De -> Of

So, Cut of the

Cou -> Neck

So, Neck of the

Is it "coup de la" or is it "coup de ta"? The second is a phrase used to represent a takeover (usually planned secretly and done abruptly) of a government/business (although nearly always it's used to describe the sudden takeover of a government)

[Fenixgoon]

i've never heard "coup de la" before.. only know "coup de grace" (death blow) and "coup d'etat" (sudden overthrow of govt)

Curb Your Enthusiasm is kinda weird because of the improvisation in it.
