You disabled the entire audio because of the soundtrack? Jackasses.

[liuchaquan]

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!

[Sinjinator]

yeah, i thought a Hickey is on yer neck, and gettin hurt on the head is a Bobo.

[liuchaquan]

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.

[WILLIAMCHANEL]

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

My grandpa used to take me to Parsols when I was a little kid, those were the best in the city

[gamekid17]

i can tell you from new orleans.

[reelanrock]

Actually its lagniappe. When I saw that roast beef po boy--dressed-- by God, it made me want to jump immediately in my car and drive the 600 miles now separating me from the Easy! And I will, soon, only curse the luck, I can't today. Soon, though.

The coin is a DIME. It hasn't been made with silver in more than 60 years. What does axed mean? Did someone get fired at the zoo? What is lagnap? You don't know how to speak properly! It's LAGNAP!

[McCainis4me]

Fuck New Orleans. I drink POP, enjoy SUBMARINES, and I cross the MEDIAN. I'm sick of shitty New Orleans words. Speak ENGLISH, asswipes.

[Carlito1988]

McCaini- Screw your pop drink, you must be from Ohio or something- still upset about the LSU win or something?? N.O. is a unique city, & when you say speak English, remember, we were a 'French' city to begin with, so everything started different, and I for one am glad it did.

[beauxdelaire]

Now Now McCainis4me, it's time to get off the computer and do your homework or your mommy will be very upset with you. Did your little friends at school teach you to cuss like that...shame on you.

[McCainis4me]

I have a mommy, unlike you New Orleans losers who came out of a strange lady who abandoned you at birth.

[yes4albert]

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.

[pook504]

Hey whattup?? I'm born and raised in New Orleans..from the Westbank. Ya'll forgot one of our expressions.....nobody asked for a cold drink! LOL we call a soda a cold drink. I asked somebody for a cold drink here in NYC and they gave me a cup of water!!!! lmao i was like i want a root beer!

[hardhead233]

yea you right man!!! it's either "cold drink" "soft drink" or just plain old "drink" never do we use coke, soda or pop...hahaha

[bthor76]

I love the way the black chick at 5:25 corrects herself about a bump on the head. Her expression is great.

[dapunkof1975]

[DeLery85]
