Bouncy Castle

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.

Sorry Officer, we didn't mean to wake up the neighbourhood or cause any grief. We even set up a bouncy castle.
