Big-O

I always envisioned some Cajun discovering this lake and saying, in a very strong Cajun accent, ”That’s a big o’l lake there. I think I’ll call it Lake Bigeaux.”

Almost but not quite like “bijou”. Like someone else said: bee zhoo or bee shoe.

We’re Also 400+ years removed from France and we’ve retained 80% of the language almost perfectly, I’d say that’s quite impressive.
