Guys, Interesting analysis guys .. I wish I could help .. but the only dialect that I'm familiar with with Cudahy-eese. "Ya dere, hey!" "Drive on up to Monkey Wards" "It'll cost you a buck two-fifty." "How 'bout dem dere Packers, eh?" "Ya, I seen it too, dere!" --bn
Ah, Big...takes me back to my yout in the South Side of Milwaukee.
Chuck, That's funny .. You were able to identify a geographical location on planet Earth within a few miles, simply based on a few common colloquialisms! I'll bet that's possible in SW Louisiana too --bn
Ya, hey, I lived on South Superior, ya know?
I know this isn't the term he is asking for but après is also a command. Borrowed from the wikibooks (Link #1) on Louisiana French. I helped write the book; so please don't take it as authority. Va après de l'eau. = Go get some water (now).
Thank you to everyone for helping me understand this!
