I realize that. She's from Louisiana and claims to be of Cajun decent and was saying that she forgets what the term means. I found that odd. That seems to be one of the most commonly known Cajun terms, IMO.
awe-sha my bad
I was kinda confused if someone named Mo Jeaux didn't know that

I truly could not remember if it was dear, angelle', darlin, sweetheart, punkin pie, love?
I think it is, dear. Too many years away to remember.

Take it easy. I see. My understanding was that it was one of those terms of endearment that could mean all of those things. While nominally meaning "dear," it could be sweetie, honey, cutie, etc. Kind of like using Mon petit chou does not mean you are calling someone a cabbage.

Well, I'm not "from" here. I was born and raised in South Louisiana.

I deliberately worked on losing my accent when I moved up here. Now I wish I could get it back.

Ohio people can be weird, be careful. They do indeed think ma'm and sir are non-existent. Or calling ya mama's friend Ms. (miss) with their first name afterwards.

Do you get it back when you're drinking? My wife says that's when I get mine back
She's from Chicago and her family calls me a redneck. Their accents are like nails on a chalkboard to me

This for sure does not exist. That's why my friends parents think I'm the nicest person they've ever met

I lost my accent completely living up North for a time. I talk yankee now. It came back in NC a little though.

Bergeron is another one that depends what family
I grew up pronouncing it like Bajh-ron
But some say Ber-ge-ron
