Canardo (etymology):

Canard: from the French, meaning duck.

Canard: As in "unwitting canard" - don't believe everything you read...

"-o": the male form of the word (from certain languages termed romance).

(Not to be confused with the Belgian Private Detective Canardo - known as "One hardboiled waterfowl.")

Canard is also French slang for "newspaper"

The name itself is a reference to Radical Georges Clemenceau's newspaper L'homme libre ("The Free Man") which was forced to close by government censorship and reacted by changing its name to L'homme enchaîné ("The Chained-up Man"); Le Canard enchaîné means "The chained-up duck", but canard (duck) is also French slang for "newspaper"; it was also a reference to French journals published by soldiers during World War I.
