Duolingo Suddenly Has Over Twice as Much Language ...
I was unaware of it until it happened. Was told it's a Québecois thing.
They also taught me the helicopter joke.

Québécois here, never heard it either. Maybe it's a regional thing or it was a different word.

Also possible they were messing with the American teenagers, since we were already being overwhelmed with differences between dialects of French.
