It was so good to see and hear these two videos. I'm from Metairie. I left to move to Fort Worth 20 years ago and have only been back a few times to visit since. A little homesick now after watching, but in a good way. Thanks for sharing. :)

Are you teaching Creole English aka Yat? Because if you are..it’s not just a New Orleans accent. Yat comes from a people of mainly French, African and Native American descent and later with German, Irish, Spanish and Italian accents. Many Creoles had spread out to many parts of La Lwizyann after they were freed. Stop tryna downplay other parts of Louisiana and learn Louisiana Creole History. Your English is too proper so you’re only teaching what you yourself done learned. Also the reason why many Creoles have darker or heavier accents is because unlike the Creoles who remained in New Orleans others grew up in rural areas where they had non to little education and couldn’t learn proper English. And these fools in the comments just eaten it up🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

Thank you for the history class. It's just... Yat. Plain, old, simple, white working class accent that is similar to some New York accents due to the same type of diaspora. And if it sounds too proper, it's because when I normally talk, people can't understand me half the time.

I am so glad to have found your channel, as this brings back so many memories. I grew up in Chalmette just a little ways away from CHS, and have certainly used many of the phrases you brought up in both this and the previous yat video. My Yankee wife still looks at me funny with a few of these sayings. You brought up “making groceries”, but a similar one my mom used a lot was “pass the mop” as talking about cleaning. Thank you for making these, and I’ll certainly be keeping an eye out for any of your videos in the future!

Very interesting... I hear the LI in some ways, but I think what makes this one very different is the vowel sounds... So one example... "aunt" - yes, sounds like, "ant." But the way you said, "farm" sounded really funny to me! And, our "vosotros" = you guys.

A sort of slang,or semi-slang word in my particular family from New Orleans was"Futz".It's a Yiddish word which means basically"To fool around,to waste time".There were some German Jews on my late paternal grandmother Francis Barth's side about two,or three generations back.And even though she was raised in New Orleans,Louisiana as a Roman Catholic,grandma Barth still often referred to herself as being a"German Jew".Also,I never heard anything such as"Banya"for dunking doughnuts in coffee in my family.There was some French ancestry on my maternal grandparents' the Schulte's side,but hardly any French words were used.Heard that they used to refer to my maternal Great-Grandmother Victoria Penier as"Ma mere".Ma mere is French for"My mother".Well,I just wanted to add my two cents of what my family used to say in old time downtown New Orleans.Bestwishes,Shalom,and God bless you. PS.Now living across the lake in Slidell.

Thank you so much for the input! I appreciate you sharing this with the community. I have heard a lot of people refer to their grandmothers as memere. Since you brought it up, I didn't realize how many yiddish phrases I hear around here. It's just something you say. You don't really pay attention to it because it's just the words you use growing up. Nothing out of the ordinary, right? Just the words of the people.

This is my Heart! Brings back all the relatives in Metairie when I was a child. Though I grew up in Pensacola, the family and friends still had that accent. Some people here said my Dad (rip) sounded like Brooklyn. This sounds like Home. It's awesome you're doing this. There's are many Southern accents, but none, to me, as rich and melodious as this. Thank you! Btw: Banya-banya sounds like the French "baigne" (bathe) or Italian "bagna" (to wet) (both pronounced "banya"). So meanings of "bathe-bathe" or "wet-wet" makes since for your pastry dunking.

Thank you so much for the information! I have heard a few people say this here but nobody knew the origins. I first heard it from an Italian woman, but never had the opportunity to ask.
