I have noticed you use the word "chere" often....
I detect a distinct South Louisiana flavor in that....
True or false?

I was born is Acadiana....about 20 miles south of Lafayette Louisiana, raised in New Orleans....so yes chere, that qualifies me as a real cajun girl. "chere" Is not pronounced by the french in Louisiana like the European french pronounce it. In Acadiana...it sounds like "shall" without the LL's. You don't hear the "r" at all like you do in France. "come see chere" (come here) "chere bebe" (used with children). My Southern accent is decidedly MUCH more pronounced in real life than it translates on this board <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> ....especially if I've had a glass of wine. I get teased alot, but most folks like it and I've given up trying to get rid of it...it's futile. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

I'm quite familiar...... I'm from Baton Rouge.
It's not everyday that you see that word used in everyday conversation.

My family is from New Iberia. I find it so funny how the french makes its way into everyday language there. Ever noticed how folks from Lousiana "make" groceries instead of "buy" them LOL. That's a direct translation from the French where the verb "faire" (to make) is used with certain activities like shopping. Or my favorite...."passed a good time" (instead of had a good time) from the verb "passer" in French meaning "to spend time". I love my cajun heritage...it's so fun. I like my cajun food too! Nice to see a fellow Louisianian here! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />
PS....forgot to add I graduated from LSU...Geaux Tigers!!!
