I grew up in Baton Rouge but went to Louisiana Tech for their Engineering School in early 80’s. My best high school friend had strong White Castle Louisiana roots. He decided to transfer to La Tech for our Sophomore year. After registering for classes we went to the college bookstore. When he found his English text book, the book store attendant told him you’ll need to get this grammar workbook as well for that course. My friend asked, “Well where dey got dem at?” I laughed my arse off and will never forget the look on that bookstore man’s face. ??

Same reason the same people sound like they develop a ton of gas after the age of thirty-nine.

Smart Cajuns know that when told it is not proper to end a sentence with a dangling preposition, one should rephrase it such: “Well where dey got dem at, a-hole?”

Your racism is showing.
The folks I am talking about are uber caucasian descendants of those uber caucasian French who settled in South Louisiana.
I take it you're not actually from South Louisiana or you are incredibly young.

The term originally referred to the New World-born offspring of Old World-born parents.
In modern times, Creole generally means a person or people of mixed colonial French, African American, and Native American ancestry.

Why are you axing this?
Am I allowed to axe that? I’ll check back in a few to see your reply. I’m going chop some more firewood with my ask.

"Axe" is a black thing here in KY. You'd never hear white folks say "let me axe you a question. "
Posted on 12/12/23 at 9:24 pm to UKWildcats
I go out of my way to make sure I say ask instead of axe. Sheesh

I don’t know how old you are …but let me give you a sobering thought. No matter how hard you try you always end up talking and sounding like your father.
My dad is old school Georgian and I say and sound like him more every day. I’m 52 and when I hear myself on voicemail I think “ Holy shite I sound just like dad”
ETA…and “axe” is a black person thing in GA.
