      The Gong Show was a crazy American talent show in the 1970s. It featured a mix of real talent and absurd crappy acts. When the act was really bad the judges could strike the huge gong with a large mallet and that would dismiss the act. It was at times ridiculous which is why you might say a party or event is a gong show (i.e. ridiculously crazy). Although it was broadcast in the states many Canadians received American TV signals and created the term. Unfortunately Americans do not use the term, I gather.

      lol. Yeah it's actually "hostie" and they say " 'ostie" and then some (many) slangify it even further by saying " 'estie' " but the "t" is pronounced like "ts" and it can sound like a "d" to others. Incidentally, "hostie" means "host" as in the sacramental bread. Much of the swearing in Qc revolves around the church, so "tabarnac" is the tabernacle, "calice" is the chalice and so on and so forth. And because the church is sacred this is why it is considered to be bad. Just saying.
