When I was growing up my godfather whenever he would catch a small trout would call it a "soudee"
Anyone familiar with that one, I always assumed it meant small.

Yes, yellow leaves with the shape of an African American ladies breast brown part on top we also called them ------ titties. But in French they are pi son lis.

LOL. Yes it would be terribly not PC to say what we used to call them in English. How about
Teton d' neg?

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but cooyon is spelled "coullion" and literally means "testicle".
Used as a derogative for someone who is stupid, or crazy, or foolish. Or as a tongue-in-cheek jab at someone who does something stupid.
'C'est si coullion' = 'it is stupid', or roughly 'how stupid'
Come to think of it, I heard that from my grandfather a lot when I was a little kid running around acting crazy

TJG210,
Yes, soudee was anything small, like an ant, or a kid. There was a Soudee Weber, small guy, lived down the street.
Mom also called us a "Foo d'merde" and sounded like "foodmahrd". The phrase meant "shite stirrer" or someone who caused trouble or couldn't sit still.

LSUCouyon, same phrase for us Lutcher guys too.
The pisawnlis was a different yellow flower where the other was also called a railroad daisy and of course the teton d'neg, so to speak.
