Someone does both paragliding and hang gliding is jokingly said to be biwingual. Really! This is part of a complete episode.
Transcript of “Biwingual”
Here is another term I learned from paragliding, and this is a real term.
Okay, yeah.
Biwingual.
Does this mean you also have your pilot’s license?
Well, it means you also have your hang gliding chops.
Oh, and these are different, to be clear.
Okay, great.
Yes, yes.
Different equipment.
Paragliding is that sort of dome shape.
It’s like a rainbow of fabric kind of held up by the air, right?
And then a hang gliding is like the almost paper airplane-shaped thing with a rigid frame, right?
Yes, yes.
You’re sort of lying on that.
But if you’re bi-wingual, you go both ways.
Bi-wingual.
