(If you're a francophone, that was an official "yoo hoo".)

I know you already mentioned me, but I am Cajun "by the ring and the back door"!

My MIL, Ms. Melancon, was telling me that "coon-***" has become accepted in Acadia and is almost worn as a badge of pride, much the same as "Cajun" was once an insulting term as well.
