re: "baw" doesn't seem like it's a South Louisiana thing.

It's 100% a South Louisiana thing. More specifically in the Acadiana region.

I have never heard of it in all my years living in north LA.

Don’t try to push that shite on us.

Nobody from NE LA uses the term. Only time I hear it is when I am talking to someone from Acadiana and then it is still pretty infrequent.

It's 100% a south Louisiana thing. My mom has always called her brother "baw".

I can remember anytime he would call from the time I was a little kid until now, she'd answer the phone and say "hey baw". We lived on the Westbank. I think she would say it more as a joke, but it shows that "baw" is a real thing.

So when I see people saying baw on here it makes me laugh.

Grew up in Houma. Never heard the shite. Podnuh, bruh, bra, T-boy, T.

Those I heard. Baw is a failed effort at being cute.

I think it's common in South as well as North LA (Opelousas, Ville Platte, etc.).
