“I’m going by Jimmy’s” is Nola for “going to Jimmy’s house”

When my granddad or dad would rig something up while we were working, it was always 'n----r rigged'.

I did have a good friend whose parents were older and they called the sink the zink. I was like WTF??

Sink-----Zinc
Is this actually an example of what you’re talking about, or just a dialect thing?
Why would anyone intentionally use the word “zinc” for a sink?

Lots of Yankees call them pops.
You want a pop ?

Also my relatives from Nola say “look at TV” in place of “watch TV”
My grandmother would "look at her stories on the TV" in the afternoons.
After they were done, she'd fix supper.
Dinner was either on Sundays after church or when it was a Friday night sunday school pot-luck sort of thing. Or a fancy restaurant.

How many of you know what a bubbler is?

“I’m in the trick bag”.
Anyone else ever heard someone say this? If so, from what area? I’ve only heard it from 3 people and they don’t know one another.

I too don't understand using zinc for sink, but I heard it more as a young person growing up in the N.O. area.
The last time I heard someone say that was a few years ago when I was framing up a large garage that the homeowner was changing over to a workshop with a half bath in it and he told me he needed a particular space framed for a "zinc and terlet".

My grandmother was from Larose. Some of her words are widely used, but a few were pretty unique. Examples:
Refrigerator - icebox
Purse - pocketbook
Couch - davenport
Panties - step ins
Margarine - oleo
