What you're saying is bah-bin. That's kinda like the facial expression of boodaying. A sad face, if you will.



That facial expression is sometimes called a pout(bah-ben), as opposed to the act of pouting (boude) though I have heard it called a boude face. Boude is an actual French word while bah-ben is a colloquial Cajun expression.

Right I though one was pouting and one was the pout itself.

Like you boude or you got the babine

Well you're quite confident... But you mispelled the word.

Le babin is older french for the baby.

La babine is older french for the lip.

Both are a way of saying a male or female is ninnying.
