Cho! : an expression of astonishment; Wow!
-- Cajun slang

feufollet bête -- fire beast

Feu follet (foo fow-lay) is a French phrase which translates to “marsh fire” or “crazy fire,” depending on who you talk to.

Bête (BET)
1. (noun) Animal. Beast.
2. (adj) Silly. Dumb.
3. Occasionally used as a playful or teasing term of endearment.

Couyon
This word comes from the French word, “couillon” and is the Cajun French word for a foolish person, a fool.

Ginger Fix
You can make homemade electrolyte drink with sea salt or Himalayan pink salt. Both have minerals that table salt does not. Of the two, sea salt works better for relieving most magical complaints and for banishing or purification. Ginger is among the popular flavorings, and adds many benefits. Cinnamon, ginseng, and linden add their own healing qualities.

Ca c’est bon!
It’s GOOD!
-- Speaking Cajun

Me, her, him – English words that are inserted into a sentence for emphasis. Example: “I have me an envie for crème brulee.” “Paulette, her, one day that smart mouth will get her in trouble.”

Fonchock is a stupid fool, plus a showoff–a dumbass. It is a crude word, however; only someone impolite or very exasperated would call a person a fonchock.

Fais du mal means make bad. Do a bad deed.
