I don't think that's what he means.


Probably means "tall" in terms of mentality.

I was wondering that ... my father in law is 6’2” and is 100% Cajun (English was his second language) from south Terrebonne Parish

Most of my male Cajun cousins are all 5’10” or taller too - but we have a few short stocks in there too

Same, and I'm only 5'5. It helps that I live in Southern Louisiana and most of my friends are 5'9ish or shorter (outside of one friend who is 6'3). I've never felt "short" but I went to school with a lot of guys that were my height and a few who were shorter. I've dated girls who were taller than me, and it never bothered me. My wife is only about 5'1 though.

I did go to school with a guy who is 5'2 and you can tell it bothers him, he's also now bald, sucks to suck

Yeah, I get south of Alexandria and I feel like I'm in the land of Oz. And Hwy 71 is rough as the yellow brick road, too.

If you're over 6'2" and NOT a professional athlete then you're a failure at life. At that height or higher, the path to professional sports is basically easy mode.


My height was completely wasted on me. If my son gets my height & my husband’s athleticism, I’ll have a solid retirement plan.

The feeling is mutual. Tall people kinda weird me the frick out. I may be short, but I'm proportional, some of you tall lanky fricks are strange looking

The BR metro isn't cajun/coonass for the most part and the people aren't particularly short.

I'm 5'10" and consider myself short. Seems everybody I hang out with or work with is an inch or two taller. Hasn't really ever bothered me and I'm middle aged.

I have a cousin who is about 5' 6". Being short bugs the hell out of him.

I always mess with him and stand next to him and look down.

I'm 6' 2" with long arms. Made playing someone taller in basketball much easier.

I’m legitimate 5-7 but make up for it in width and weight.

I'm a little over 6‘3“. When I was 14, I played Dixie Youth All-Stars. Our team made it to the state tournament. When we were there, our team went to a local Piccadilly. As we were standing in the queuing line, the West Monroe team came into the restaurant. At the time, I was a little over 6‘1“ and was the tallest kid on my team. I think I would’ve been the smallest kid on the West Monroe team. It seemed like the entire team was at least 6‘4“. I couldn’t believe how big they were at 14 years old. As I passed them in the line I knew we didn't have a f*cking chance in hell to win State. Of course, they not only won the State tournament, but they also went on to win the Dixie Youth World Series.

A tall man pulling tail is like a guy who bought a Bama hat yelling at the TV after a touchdown. Simmer down, bitch, you didn't actually accomplish anything.
