Hasn't yelling "ayeee" become pretty cliche' when yelled? Cajuns are known for whooping in moments of joy or saddness, but reducing it to "ayee" as I have heard it yelled in some of the bars around Lafayette or Baton Rouge makes the yeller sound like they kind-of know what they are doing, but to me, it falls flat, sorta like the spelling of "mais cher" above. - just say no to "ayee" Mon, 27 Jul 2009 13:56:35 +0100 http://www.theind.com/cover-story/2784#comment-2022 PS. my cats eat boudin for lunch; and love it! - Katzarr Montgomery, Tx Mon, 27 Jul 2009 13:53:01 +0100 http://www.theind.com/cover-story/2784#comment-2020 ---When your Coon-dog eats 1st before anyone else in the family. - Katzarr Montgomery, Tx Mon, 27 Jul 2009 13:51:49 +0100 http://www.theind.com/cover-story/2784#comment-119 ...You think a large drainage canal/creek is a Coulie. ...You ask a co-worker to Come See and they think you are going to show them something. ...Going to someone's house that you know, you should knock at the garage door not the front door. ...In school, you thought it was normal on the first day of class for the teacher to spend 10-15 minutes on role call because she didn't know how to pronouce the names. - atl ga guy Thu, 24 Jul 2008 17:54:23 +0100 http://www.theind.com/cover-story/2784#comment-96 I must say I have been living outside of Lafayette for over ten years now, and I still get most every reference.
