No offense taken at all. I'm actually an Irish/German boy from New
Orleans, so my exposure to Cajun French is second-hand. I didn't learn it as my first language at my daddy's knee like those "down-bayou" Cajuns, some of whom even went to French-(Cajun)-speaking schools until high school. grin This particualr thread/phrase reminds me, however, that even New Orleanians who don't speak it use a lot of borrowed words and phrases, like saying (of a broken thing) "It won't march." Obviously carried over from "ne marche pas." |
