pas quoi

Ca cetait pas rien, il aime ca, et moi aussi.

You've got my curiosity up about "badine", there could easily be a mispronounciation handed down through the generations of ear to ear communication. I'll quiz him a little more on it. He is easily intrigued by cajun word origins.

peut etre???

Dad thinks he is saying "laproll" (used to cover legs when cold), which makes sense since he is rolling his whiskey jug in it. He says if it is not that, he doesnt know any french word that sounds like that, that would fit that context. The english words are sometimes hard to pick up in the middle of the cajun french. Moi j'connais pas.

Re: peut etre???

D'accord, on va garder ça pour l'instant.

Interesting little article about other kinds of tricks that the "joueurs de niches" could sometimes play on people at dances.

It's # 10 ("Joueurs de niches")

Another interesting one is # 12.

And it gives me the words I wanted to know. Dowell, you had given us the right word : "BALEINE" is the buggy whip. The other one is "LAP ROBE".

Re: Re: I highly recommend this book!

hi christian

baleine is normally a whale, so many something made of whalebone?
but what does "il a fige aux coups" mean?
figer means to freeze up, right?
