Where the Hell is Tippy-Toe, Louisiana?

Turns out that it was just another mondegreen. It's "Thibodeaux". I never knew that.


I also wondered what kind of name was "Duck Millsouth"-- it's "Doc Milsap".

  1. Half the Cajuns in Louisiana are named Thibodeaux. The other half are named Boudreaux. That's how you start any coon-ass joke—"Thibodeaux and Boudreaux were sittin' in their pirogue…"

    My daughter currently lives amongst them. She's on the very northern part of Lake Pontchartrain within a couple of miles of that crazy bayou logger, Shelby Stanga on Ax Men.

    1. I was on a SWA flight before Xmas; the captain took the PA before pushback, thanked everyone for flying SWA and said that she had asked the FA yo do the initial announcement in a Cajun accent. She did (I saw at least four smartphones recording it). Then the gate agent came on board and asked if Mr. Boudreaux was on board.

      The FA muttered: "She gets me to do that and there is a real Cajun onboard."
