Cajun Scientist's definitions
Member of a culture prevalent from Southwestern Mississippi, throughout Southern Louisiana, and Southeast Texas, descended from the Acadian French settlers of east-central Canada who were driven out by military means.
We are normally gregarious and friendly. but apparently the only Frenchmen who still are good at fighting and do fight when called on (or called out). We have great taste in food, somewhat less good taste in music (according to our non-Cajun friends, who apparently are not fond of waltzes or accordion instrumentals).
There are so many Cajuns because Cajun-ness is a cultural matter more than a genetic one. People whose ancestors were here BEFORE the Cajun migration (such as Louisiana Germans and the original French settlers) have assimillated into the culture, as have Jews, Arabs, Serbs, Croats, Englishmen (an entire warship full of them who shipwrecked in Dularge, Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana and decided life was better there than back home), Italians, Spanish, African-Americans, and other nationalities. Most natives of South Louisiana self-identify as Cajuns.
These people are steadfast friends, fearsome enemies, hard partiers, expert hunters and fishermen and avid drinkers. For decades, the unofficial motto of the state, "Sportsman's Paradise" has emblazoned Louisiana licence plates due to Cajun prowess in shooting, hooking, netting and cooking wild game and fish.

Get the Thunderchickenmug. Cajun term for a party distinguished by consumption of mass quantities of food, beer, soft drinks and hard liquor (as opposed to "soft liquor" like Southern Comfort which the women will drink in their part of the boucherie). The behavior at boucheries is generally inebriate but friendly, because the cars parked outside boucheries are generally full of guns, which tend to make most civilized people really polite. Music ranges from traditional Cajun accordion and vocals to zydeco, to more popular country and rock music. Generally, the succinct description of a boucherie after the fact is "A good time was had by all."
"Goin' have us a boucherie this Sunday, burn a sucklin' pig over a slow fire, boil us some crabs and crawfish, tap a keg, basically get all retarded... you comin?"

Get the cuillonmug. The best James Bond film ever made. Features a underwater speargun and knife fight between a bunch of US Navy frogmen and the bad guys in SCUBA gear. Begins well, too, with a one of the bad guys nerve gassing the other people on a nuclear bomber so the eeeevil genius can swipe an H-bomb.
