Why do you Cajuns permit all of carnaval to be called fat Tuesday?

We don't? Fat Tuesday is a specific day. If you mean why do we use the French translation of Fat Tuesday to refer to the entire season, well, why do you use "Christmas" to refer to the entire December holiday season?

Cajuns. Louisianan French speakers
Mardi Gras. last day of carnival in Cajun French

The whole of carnival is referred to as the last day of carnival, or 'fat Tuesday'.

Most nonsensical

Because the Lenten season starts on Ash Wednesday. You get all of your debauchery in on Tuesday, thus Fat Tuesday.
