I never had a hard time understanding, “I’m giving ‘er all she’s got, Captain”. But coach O might as well be chewing gravel when talks.
It’s a tie for me. I coached with a Scottish soccer coach for a few years and never knew what the h@ he was talking about. I’d love to hear him and coach have a conversation!
Creole
Cajun....Coach O needs subtitles when he talks.
I feel like the cajuns tend to mumble more
Since Cajun ( Actually Creole) is derived from French and I don't speak French, Scottish is easier for me.
I can tell you - living in France and speaking a little bit - that Cajun is very strange and difficult to understand. I showed my wife some Cajun video before the LSU game and she had this confused look on her face...so funny.
I met 2 landscapers on a job site back in the early 90s who spoke in Creole. I asked them if it was French, luckily one of them spoke fair English and he explained to me they came from a Cajun village south of New Iberia and that the dialect was mostly French based but also English and African influenced. He said some villagers lived their whole lives in the swamps and many only spoke the local dialect, as Creole varies from area to area.
That's true, it does vary so it that makes it even more difficult. And it being a hybrid of so many influences makes it a nightmare...but I love to listen to it.
I had a pretty good ear back when I met the Cajuns, I listened and could tell it wasn't pure French, that's why I asked about it. It was a very interesting day.
Yeah, in addition to taking my wife to Athens (she's been to Chatsworth, Dalton, Chattanooga, Atlanta) but it was before the season started. I want her to experience what that's like in Athens. But she wants to see NOLA (and eat the food). Aside from losing, that would have been a good time for her.
