Belote et rebelote

la belote is a popular card game in France, typically involving two teams of two players. One of the declarations a player can make during the game is "belote et rebelote". According to these rules, this happens when a player plays two consecutive trump cards, the Queen and King (I could never really get into the game, which I believe is considered treason in France)

This also became a common expression, often shortened to "et rebelote" or simply "rebelote" to indicate something happening for the second time.
rebelote! = here we go again!
