The director, Jean-Pierre Jeunet, has suggested the word "Micmacs" could be translated as "shenanigans" (meaning to be mischievous or deceitful). The rest of the title "à tire-larigot" could be translated as "non-stop" or "all the time" -- therefore, the title could be translated to English as "Non-Stop Shenanigans" or "Shenanigans All the Time".
