Very recent Canadian slang used when a person or a group of people get into trouble or an altercation and defend their actions by stating "but we had a bouncy castle". It came from the
trucker convoy in Ottawa in 2022 when some participants excused their bad behaviour by stating there was a bouncy castle set up
for the kids.
Used
sarcastically when younger people get drunk and/or a party gets out of hand and the police show up.
