Omfg, you're killing me. My mom is 5th generation New Orleanean, born and raised on France Street, in the 9th ward, 5th precinct. You're killing me with laughter 😅😅😅
Ouch. These hurt me as a Houstonian lol. The French ones I know from speaking some French but not gonna lie, you locals taught me about Choppa-Toolas hahaha. “Treem” took me out.
@@homiiciidalkiitten6650I had no idea either but I wasn’t surprised they were mispronounced because New Orleans isn’t pronounced correctly either. French Orléans is completely different.
There was a channel 4 news television commercial campaign years ago (there's that news van, again...), in which the "tourists" called beignets 'bag-nets'. I still think about that 😅
I miss living in New Orleans. Was such a crazy adventure for me. Loved the people and they loved me back. One of the few places that everyone mixes and just makes it happen. Can always count on great food too.
I lived there with my momma.. everything is down the road.. even if it 30 miles..or 5 steps... Nobody is going to tell you there coming to visit. But they will pass bye and and say hi!! 😂. I was like you can't stop😮 just pass bye... And I love the way you everything is aaawwwyeee .❤❤
I'm crackin' up because I live here and had the same issue when I first moved to NOLA. Had to ask on a regular basis how to pronounce a lot of the street names like Derbigny - that threw me for a loop.
Shoot, I don't know how to pronounce them Creole and Cajun words...If I were there in NOLA, I'd do everything under the sun to even bring them French street names up in conversation!!! 😅😅😅😅😅😂😂😂😂😂😂😮 And that ain't no lie!!
I live on the north-shore, and I love how my northerner friends come down to visit and freak out about having to drive across lake punch-a-train. Or how they can't tell the difference between Lafitte and Lafayette.
My GPS always pronounced it "choo-pee-too-less". My least favorite embarrassing moments when i had customers though was when it would say Maurepas as "more-rapist" and Fa9ot as well... yeah. I had someone in my car while my GPS was screaming out turn on "Fa*got" street.
They need a life time course of southeast Louisiana 42 different dialects we have here. No where else in the United States, South Central Africa would be next with hundreds of dialects
tbf the locals pronounce a lot of the street names wrong. if you are an literature major from any school outside south louisiana, be prepared for unusual looks at your confident recitation of nearly all nine names of the muses. (the less said about "cl-10" around first-timer tourists the better) and though a local may drink a glass of wine while wearing a deep maroon shirt and call each one "burgundy," they would never for a moment imagine how someone could drive on a particular street and not understand it to be called bur *gun* dee
@@erinjh89NOLA people say it the "wrong" way ironically, the word is usually pronounced "BURgundy" with the emphasis on the first syllable but when referring to Burgundy in New Orleans natives pronounce it "burGUNdy" with the emphasis on the second syllable.
@williamgadomski8207 are you a native? Idk, I'm am tho. Myself and my children were born at Touro & I say it BURgundy and everybody else I've heard say it also
Its a Louisiana thing not just new Orleans. Lol but etoufee is funny as hell i had my friend ask if i can make some Etufee and I'm like Et Two Fey child etoufee 😂
I'm from the south (or southwest) and I don't have that much of a problem pronouncing these words!!! Of course, I grew up pronouncing some Native American names from Oklahoma!
@@arthurbrands6935 did you happen to just so notice, the !11!1111!!! for one,a nd for two, i have NEVER heard somebody call it noo "awlins" when i litteraly lived in the area my whole life, its OR-LENS
French is difficult for those who don’t speak the language. I have a very French name and NOBODY can ever pronounce it correctly. Why don’t you do a video teaching people how to correctly pronounce those words/names.
