Explanation:
It's anyone's guess what substance the hibou-chouette-Salomon Twitterer is on (see Cyril T's thread), but it is unlikely to be a colloquial expression since my vachement chouette days of the Swinging Sixties, rather a swipe at Jérôme Salomon-.

neutral  Cyril Tollari: The tweet was generated using Cheap Bots, Done Quick! A bot wrote it. Randomly generated tweets that don't make sense.

disagree  Victoria Britten: "Etre Charlie" went from meaning standing with Charlie Hebdo, to being a supporter of freedom of expression, to (potentially, sarcastically) being "right-on". Nothing about being assassination material!
