AFTER ME, THE DELUGE---- Means that "I shall keep doing what pleases me regardless of what happens and even if I am overcome; after me, the DELUGE"
The origin of this phrase is uncertain. Madame Pompadour, a favorite of King Louis XV, was one among several who were credited with having used this phrase. She was extravagant and she refused to listen to her counselors who said she would ruin the country. She made light of their warnings, saying in French; "AFTER US, THE FLOOD".
