Ancestrally.

All of my great Grandparents were born in France.

Could have fooled me with that "Am French" line.

I would bet half the membership of this board can say that they are "Ancestrally" French.

That's a safe bet.

But how many could say that they actively practice French/Cajun culture, or even speak French fluently?

Probably not many, but I know what pain perdu means and I don't speak it fluently.

And I bet there is shite you say that my mawmaw wouldn't recognize. It's not like it's even spoken the same across the region.

If she's an Acadiana-area cajun, I'd bet she and my Pierre-Part arse could speak perfectly fine

She's from Cameron parish, and I've heard her talk to people from other parts of the state and there was some confusion on different words.

I've even asked her about some words before and she would often tell me what word they used for that instead of what I called it. Can't remember any examples off the top of my head, but there were a few out of the Cajun Self-Taught books by Fr Daigle.

There's a good chance I know them IF they are OG's.

% chance goes up if their last name is Breaux, Landry, Hebert, ETC.
