Some of these phrases are new. I left the City in 91. I'm Old School NOLA. One thing missing from this is the lyrical and musical way we speak. Back in the day, a cat (a young man) may say: "Where y'at, Lil' Daddy," but he'll sing it out. The same with "What's up, Lil faule?" Just an added perspective.
Well I'm from Arnaudville ,Louisiana near Opelousas and Lafayette. We say some of the same phrases that you use so its not only the people from New Orleans. Pronounce the words the same but with a different accent.
omg. Everybody from New Orleans has always been so adorable! I love your accent, i can hear a tiny bit of a flared o, sound as in the word our. ... sometimes I hear people from New Orleans talk recently I could have sworn this man I met here and his cousin were French.. it almost sounds to me to be a slightly french/southern twang on a southern new york state blend, if that makes any sense. Its very southern and very charming!
When I joined the Army back in da day, a lot a people didn't know what I was talkin bout: Chee-wees, makin groceries, buss up (ole skool), neutral ground, Pahrans & Nannies, boot up, bucked up, Baaay-bee, Ma'mon & PawPaw, fa true?, yeah/no, jump shive, Ha, round, ....let's just say I had to change my way of speaking. I ain't been back to N.O. since like 2002, so I dun missed out on the new shyt. 9th Ward Desire, Benefit St. Fa sho! LOL
for exemple "red for lite skinned"in haitian creole we say "wouj" which means red, so there comes the translation, word up little daddy in haitian creole "sak pase ti papa" little daddy aka ti papa, translation directly frm haitian creole, the "yes n no" at the end of the sentences, we say the same thing in haiti, u gave the exemple "he's crazy yeah" in haitian creole we'd say "li fou wi", u guys just say it with another tone of voice
Yes we are very Unique, I so miss home. People over here in Dc always pick out that I am not from where they are from. I still use those phrases and I been out of the N.O for almost 9 years lol. You just can't get rid of them..
So this is what is going on with many of the new orleans sayings that do not make sense in english, but do in creole. An haitian who undertands english would understand when u say red when u talk about a lite skinned or if u would say "word up little daddy" I know that many people hate us haitians, but whether u like it or not, u guys are from haitian descent and I don't undertand why u don't wanna recognize this. It is a part of your history that I think that u wanted to forget.
No one I ran into here in Illinois ever heard the phrase, "Your boy/girl." They think you're talking about a boyfriend or girlfriend, but you're not. When you cannot remember someone's name you'll say, "You know your boy/girl." "I seen your boy last night." A neighbor asked me what "Yes in deed" means. I told her it means you cannot believe what was just said or done.
"yes indeed' mean a lot of things, depending on how you say it. My favorite is when you say it after catching somebody up to something, ie, "YES INDEED! I KNEW IT WAS YOU STEALING FROM THE REGISTER!"
Waaaaaaaa.....Fa Sho Whoa...I undstood most up that....I'm from the let me get that out cha era...lol....so some that stuff is new to me..yahurdme....Be Cool cuz!
I was walking down a street a few years ago here in Akron ,ohio . i was alone and there was a black man walking down the street going the oposite way and the black man said "how are you doing" i said in return "i am doing fine" i wanted to stop and have a conversation but i was trying to get home in a hurry. up until this video i always thought he really wanted to know how i was doing but according to your video all he was really saying was hello.
you forgot "already"... I said I was almost there to a friend of mine and he said already? I said yes.. we went back and forth like Bud Abbott and Costello... it means YES! lmfao
Only New Orleans natives say "I've been havin'...", as in, " Where did ya get that shirt?" "Oh, I've been havin' it for a bukou time." Also, in New Orleans, you don't go to someone's house; you go by their house, as in, "l'm going by my mama's house."
To do a short resumee, your phrases are just translations from haitian creole frome english. For exemple, we have a saying in haiti that says" pran san'w" which means somthing like calm down, so some haitian parents in the states would reprenmend their child n say to them "take your blood/ which is the excat translation from creole to english. So, hearing that just doesn't make sense in eglish.
UPDATED(July of 2012): What about Say Love? You want yo round? You bout that life? Sooo you feelin yoself? Lawwwd or Lawwwdeeeee! You buggin me!(and you UG-A-LEE) That ______ Dont owe me Nothing! I want EVERYTHING! That Beat! You Buckin? You Bookin? Pop it off? You does the MOST! HELLO! Babeee when I tell you! I got TEA! Maw! and my PERSONAL favorite YOU HIT! lol
I WILL REPRESENT AYITI TILL I DIE!! U MAY HATE ME, TELL ME IM A CAT EATER, I DO VOODO OR ALL THE OTHER STUPIED THINGS U MAY SAY ABOUT HAITIANS, I AM GLAD GOD CREATED ME AS ONE N I WILL REPRSENT IT TILL I DIE! AYSIEN POU LA VI,!!
