I'm really loving all this. Thank God our country is full of such diversity and differences in languages, dialects and expressions. I hope this doesn't change. God bless New Orleans.
The guy by himself in the grey suit is MY DAD! In a million years, I never thought I would see this again. I'd love to know where it came from. I do remember when they would play it on WYES...almost 40 years ago. My sisters and I would get so excited to see it. What a blast from the past. Thanks for posting!
Fascinating! I’m not sure what year this was filmed but I think we all can agree that bell-pepper caught on for the rest of the country. I’m in So-Cal and we call them bell peppers.
New Orleans is the only place that calls a water hose or garden hose a "hose pipe", if you go to any other city and call it that, they'll look at you funny, lol. 😂
When he asked, "if you wanted everything on a poboy how would you ask for it?" I paused the video and said to myself, "dressed." When I played the video and the guy said dressed I damn near fell over laughing. NOLA.
Glad that my husband's family still has the Yat sound, but every time we go into New Orleans, the dialect is not as strong. Instead, we hear more of the dull monotonous tone that is used in TV so much. Don't forget the overuse and abuse of the word "like", which is used after every single word.
Because the yat accent is the native-born local white New Orleans accent and New Orleans had a white flight happen and by the 1990’s most of the local whites left for the surrounding suburbs so now the yat accent is strong in the suburbs but weak in the city where it was born because local whites went from being the majority to now a minority in the city and since Hurricane Katrina in 2005, there has been an influx wave of out-of-town whites that has settled the city and they sure don’t have yat accents.
The new orleans accent has changed but it also depends on where you at in the city somebody from the garden district will not sound like somebody from 9th ward
I used to see this all the time on WYES - 12 growing up...what's up w/ this copyright nonsense?!!! Audio has been disabled because there was some un-cleared song?!!! screw yr lawyers! - I want to hear this again!
Lived in France a few years and if "langiappe" ever was a word there, I never heard it used or found anyone who understood it. But it may well have been one a very long time ago.
My dear friend from what I read in the dictionary about the word Lagniappe,they describe it as being an American French word.Which means that it probably originated right here in Louisiana,and not France.Furthermore,it stated that in Lagnipe was derived from the American Spanish expression " La Napa";lit,"The Gift".So,being a locally derived term,Lagniappe may never have been widely used overseas in France,friend.It,s original definition wad that it was a small gift given to a customer by a merchant at the time of a purchase.Later,it broadly came to mean something given or obtained gratuitously or by way of good measure; in other words,"Something extra",my dear friend.Merci beaucoup,mon Cher a,i,and God bless you,and kindly keep you well & safe.
Didn't used to be. Years ago (before 1980 or so), they were just peppers, or green peppers, or sometimes 'sweet' peppers. I watched national cooking shows and had cookbooks from outside New Orleans back then, and I remember.

Who’s here because this was just posted on Imgur? I loved this! I’d love to see more videos like this.
I love your accents, greetings from Houston.
This New Orleans, the New Orleans we grew up in is not there anymore. The flavor and soul is gone from our city.
Just wrote a comment about that before reading yours.Yes it's heart breaking what has been lost.
Yep. The tourism industry really ruined it when AirBNB came in. RIP NOLA.
That's for sure, slowly dying out
Just got to move across Jackson
You not even lying 😫😫
the middle is the neutral ground . We make groceries and make sure to get a cold drink and po boy. I wish my city wasn’t dying 😒
We gotta make home black again and teach the youth our foods and traditions
This video is gold , respect from Chicago. Love these retro videos
We used to sneak in to the Do Drive In when I was a kid. It's a shopping center and condos now.

Charming series!
Yeah, you rite. Ain't many of us left.

@@jalenjohnson9705 especially now...because this video was taken during a time when New a Orleans was going through a demographic change...
@@IslenoGutierrez whites started to move out
My grandpa used to take me to Parsols when I was a little kid, those were the best in the city
Why on earth would people be ugly about the way we speak here? Just don't speak like us if you don't like it. XO
WILLIAMCHANEL ya you Right! Dat’s what I’m talkin about!
I remember when this aired.
I grew up saying I got a hickey when I got hit on the head...never knew about the "passion mark" reference til I got some puberty.
Yes lol me too never knew a hickey was a passion mark til I went to the military 😂
i love how new orleans people say "make groceries" :)
I can relate to that guy that loved stuffed peppers.
Very interesting.

I meant "Mon Cher ami".
I love the way the black chick at 5:25 corrects herself about a bump on the head. Her expression is great.
God bless my grandparents. They say this same shit.
my aunt @6:00
Naturally Nawlins! Making Groceries Schwegmanns style!
Back when the world made sense
Hon, the world never made a lick of sense, and never will.
That was a good time lol
yeah, i thought a Hickey is on yer neck, and gettin hurt on the head is a Bobo.
@2:10 boy our women are sensual lemme tell ya!!
Yes,the brunette lady st 2:10 was quite pretty,one would say.God bless her.
I cannot discern what the woman is saying at 3:57. Can someone please enlighten me?
"Sandwiches for Alvarez?" She's trying to find the table to take them to
Wheyat bra
The only accent I don't recognize is the narrator's
Wait, what? It’s not called a hickey? Then what do you call it?
They're called bell peppers in other parts of the United States, not just NOLA.

stuff travels quickly like cultural exchanges, i.e. a bunch of stuff probably originated from New Orleans and likewise for other cultures
One thing that pisses me off is when people say "poor boy". It's po' boy. My family's been in New Orleans for 150 years, we call it po boy.
Everyone that lives in SWLA call it a Po'boy too
My former boss was old money Uptown, and he called them poor boys. The Uptowners have their own, much more proper and refined, dialect.

If you ever go to New Orleans don't bring cash because the police will seize it
wtf you talkin about?
