JB,

I have a couple thoughts about "Jongler" .. but be it known
that I am absolutely completely no authority whatsoever on
the Cajun vernacular!

I've often thought of "Jongler" as being similar to juggling
in the respect of one juggling a thought in one's head.

Sort of as we say "Toss it around". To consider or think about something; "Some of us have been tossing around suggestions for improving the show."

Or, as David Byrne of the talking heads says: "It makes sense .. but not if
you try to figure it out!"

My French teacher in college, a native French speaker, told me that jongler is the verb "to juggle." It's use, at one time, was when your "thinking" implied a decision, or preference. Literally, "juggling your thoughts."

Penser was used to assert your thoughts. She also said that jongler is rarely used, now except among rural folk.

In colloquial/argot/slang French

a "jongler" is an attorney, a lawyer.

Check the previous posts and substitute "jongleurs" for jonglers...
