That's Comme Ci Comme Ca if I remember my high school french correctly
and it means approximately so-so. As in, How are you? So-so.

Say it out loud to yourself. It does sound a little swishy...
i guess that makes sense. :)

Close <g>. It's actually spelled "comme si, comme sa" and means literally
'like this, like that'.

First poster was right - it's C :-)

The Rock started using it first, IIRC. I take it to mean bisexual rather
than homo...

There. That's what it looks like.

Correct. And what made comme ci, comme ca synonymous with being gay/bi
(in the Rock/Jericho context) is if you use the teeter-totter hand
gesture that goes with feeling "so-so".
"How are you?" "So-so" (with hand gesture)

The cedille (a.k.a. "little curly accent thing") will appear only in "ca",
not in "ci". It is used to make the "c" sound like an "s" before the
letters a, o, or u.

I haven't taken french in 6 years, and I understand this. AGGHHH!!!!!
I think he's saying something like, "Comme-ci comme-ca, I think <he's
correcting the spelling>. Comme-ci comme-ca is not doing well, and it
is not doing badly, it is in between. Understand?"

From living all my life in 50/50 french and english city, I've known "comme
ci,
comme ca" to mean "so-so" or "this way or that way".
For example, when I ask somebody "comment ca va?", quite often
they will reply "comme ci, comme ca".
And also, Jean Lutte is either a troll or a fool.
