I knew how to pronounce it as soon as I saw it! 😂 Hooo, damn I'm gettin good at my Cajun language! A lot of our words and names that end with "-on" usually sound like "aw" like "Couyon" (or Couillon) sounds like "Coo-yaw" 👌
I always giggle when I hear friends try to pronounce my last name, they always say it wrong, or when I say how it’s pronounced, I have to spell it for them.
I’m not even Cajun but I thought it was pronounced like you thought too I guess cause I’ve been looking up French stuff for the past hour or something??
Yeah we spell it calçons and we pronounce it our way. We also use the French culottes to describe larger underwear. There are quite a few Cajun French words that are slightly different pronunciations of Spanish and Italian words because they had to communicate with each other, but we also have a French term that has similar meaning. But Cason as a surname is not very common where I’m from and the family probably changed the pronunciation because it sounds similar but not quite like calçons
In Louisiana it’s spelled caleçon. It’s just some folks call it cah-son, some call it cahl-son and some call it cahn-son. Different dialects for different parts of Louisiana.
@@Louisianish That’s the way I pronounce it too. I wrote it as cahn-son but it it’s really pronounced more like cawn-sawn with a nasal n on both n sounds. Hey I got a question for you, there are 4 different ways to call the browned bits on the bottom of the pan when cooking, they are grattons, gradoux, gratin and grémilles. Which word do you use?
@@IslenoGutierrez Yep, exactement comme ça. And gratons would be cracklins for us, so I wanna say the one I’ve heard the most is grémilles. I feel like there’s another word we say for it too, but I can’t think of it at the moment.
@@IslenoGutierrez I love the play on words with the question "Comment les cannes sont?" cause it’s pretty much specific to Bayou Lafourche, I think. haha
I knew a woman who came over on a boat when she was young from France. The more she drank the thicker her French accent got 😅
My grandma (dads mom) is married to a Cajun. My mom says he has a normal accent until he gets around family and then the Cajun comes back full force.😅
I love my culture.
Ainsi soit-il, you okay cher ⚜️

So would that have been like, Cushaw?
@@ajcook3146 What are you referring to? How to pronounce Couyon/Couillon?
There’s a nasal n at the end of that “aw”.
@@IslenoGutierrez For some, but none of my family ever pronounced the n, or juuuus barely pronounced it
@@woofiedacouyon I’m from south Louisiana and everyone I know puts the nasal n on the end. When we speak French we do the same.
Cason comes from the French word "caleçon", which means boxer shorts
Un caleçon in french

Is it also spelled cason ? (In french caleçon means underwear)

Down in South Lafourche, though, we pronounce it "conçon"

This is interesting but does this dude need a throat drop or something or is he just a smoker 😭
Underwear is not pronounced like that 😂😂😂 in the French word for underwear, there's an l in there so it's not pronounced the same way
