NTTCR: I need help with a (Canadian? French? Wha?) word

I have heard this term 3-4 times this week. Once on the news, once from a Canadian film maker who grew up in Montreal, and once by Tim Gunn on Project Runway.

Pardon the spelling because I am doing it phonetically: 

Kis kisay 

Meaning? Real spelling? Google is no help. In the context I have heard it it seems to mean something similar to "what the f*ck" or some polite version of it.

    Maybe?

    Sorry, my french is a bit rusty so my spelling might not be right.  It basically means what is that.

    THANK YOU!!! 

     

    No wonder it didn't come up on any searches. I had no clue how to start spelling it, none at all.

    It's ok! It only took a second to piece it together. Like I said, I was excited when I saw your title. I taught french for 1 year in Toronto before I moved south. I am qualified to teach it, but the demand for french teachers isn't terribly high in my  neck of the woods lol!

    I forget it about you as well. The only 3 ladies who I remember are Canadian are Cathy, POF, and Hopefulhoney. HH is actually from my HOMETOWN in the Maritimes. Crazy, huh? RG, remind me where you are from.
