I was born and raised in south Louisiana. Most of the older people out here speak Cajun French. It has a lot more slang and short cuts than other types, and some words are borrowed all together. Like the word for mosquitos was taken from the Native Americans. We are definitely diverse from other cultures, and we'll cook just about anything. From beef to venison and even frog legs. Just to say, we ain't too picky. Hahahaa0

Detroit, Michigan. The Motor City. Where the Strong Survive and the Weak Are Eaten. I've been to Hell's Kitchen, the South Bronx, East LA, the South side of Chicago and many other places the locals think are tough. I always looked around, laughed and said, you ain't never rolled the Cass Corridor baby. This ain't nothing. Detroit City...the Home of the Motor City Madman. Hockey Town. I went to a fight and a hockey game broke out. Dang...we had fun growing up!!
Heck...we didn't even have toys. We had knives. Anyone remember playing Mumbly Peg? That was my first knife game and I still have scars on my feet and legs from it.0 -
