Pecan Island isn't da bayou?


Not really. Traditionally, "down the bye" is a reference to Bayou Lafourche. And to be "down", that's at least Raceland. But, maybe somewhere between the fire department and GoBears might be the line. Definitely not Thibodaux. Thibodaux might as well be in Ohio.

SW Louisiana (the Contraband folks) are different sorts of Cajuns (looking at you Youngsville).

I've made the joke about anyone north of 10 being a yankee for years.

This dude comes along and says north of 90.

I consider Thibodaux, Morgan city and Houma all part of bayou country.

South Lafourche peeps continuing to believe they’re the only place with a bayou. Chill out and be happy y’all got 3 roads nowadays.
