Just trolling that N'awlins thread.

Is it:

Buy you

Buy yo

Or

Buy yah

I have been told by Cajuns that it is Buy yah. But the Meters say Buy yo in "Fire on the a Bayou." I personally say buy yah.
Please settle this for me.

And, I have always said New Orlinz.

I've said Bye Yah since I was very little. But that's because my mom and dad are both from Cajun speaking families.
