Well I've never heard those expressions before! However, I grew up in Moncton and heard my share of Acadian French slang. I wish I could remember some of the expressions. They are quite interesting. :-)
ReplyDeleteOh for sure there are some interesting slang associated with the Acadians. I love it! I have received communcations from people travelling to Québec and anxious to have their children practice their French resulting from French immersion classes. I always get nervous for those children because the reality is that their accents will cause them trouble. So, this is a bit of a practice for them to see if they can wrap themselves around this accent.
ReplyDeleteI guess I'd have to say "Chutoute fourre" because I couldn't speak a word of French if I tried! LOL Fun post.
ReplyDeleteHa! A+ for trying Gigi!!
