Do we have to cancel “Who Dat?” now? I haven’t stopped shaking since reading this...
Wiki Link for “Who Dat?”

Wiki Link for “Who Dat?”
quote:
Early references to "Who Dat?" can be found in the 19th Century in the poetry of Paul Laurence Dunbar, first in his poem "When Malindy Sings" and later in his lyrics to the song "Who Dat Say Chicken in dis Crowd,"[5][6][7] a featured song in Clorindy: The Origin of the Cakewalk, an "operetta" by Dunbar and Will Marion Cook that was first presented as part of E.E. Rice's 1898 show "Summer Nights".[8] A common tag line in the days of Negro minstrel shows was: "Who dat?" answered by "Who dat say who dat?" Many different blackfaced gags played off that opening.

Staged minstrel skits featured frightened African American characters saying "who dat" when they encountered a ghost, or someone imitating a ghost.

St Aug came up with it. Saints used it but didn't make it prominent until the Bengals stole it.

The Murder rate in New Orleans has a direct correlation to the phrase "Who Dat!"

It was also used by LSU basketball fans in early 80s. I still have a picture of my little ugly 7 yr old mug wearing a purple t-shirt with "Who Dat" ironed-on it in gold.
