Well it certainly isn't American. It is really a weird word. There is no evidence as to what it really means. One would have to search the world languages to find the word and see if it really exists.
Truth is it is either Canadian or is is some kind of tongues and that would be Canadian tongues.
Quest says it means exasperation. But that is just a wild guess. There is no evidence to that.
This is ridiculous! sheesh
