Actually its a line from one of the most beloved Quebecois standup comedian Yvon Deschamps (who has been happily married with an Anglo-Canadian pop singer btw) where he makes fun of the sociolinguistics of Quebec and Canada. The real etymology is rather from Greek allo, ‘other’, similar as allosaurus ‘other lizard’. The guy made fun of everything while making us think about ourselves and our prejudices. Too bad his standup is unavailable in English, I subtitled him a few times and i almost got depressed failing to capture the humour.
