Get the pause for the cause mug.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.

"Cher, we're gonna have a real Cajun boucherie tonight. yeah! I got a suckling pig turning over a slow fire, eight baskets of crabs and eight baskets of crawfish to boil... AND we have a fiddler and an accordion man. Haul yo ass down here and eat with us!"

Get the living causes death mug.n. a phrase used by lawyer to make it seem as if somebody didn't do something wrong when they really did.
Lawyer: Yes, your Honor, my clients may have created fake financial records for Enron, but they were not a proximate cause of harm to Enron shareholders because Enron was going to implode anyways.

Get the The Caruso mug.by Kaiko20 October 1, 2009
Get the Causita mug.Thick, pungent, lingering gas that is the result of eating blackened seasoned foods. Blackening is one of the most flavorful ways to prepare food that will leave you with spicy elemented swamp gas. The hallmarks of Cajun Swamp Gas are its spice filled after notes and their power to linger in the air for extended periods. Makes for the best, but the worst, dutch ovens.
Carl couldn't resist eating a giant blackened shrimp po' boy for dinner. The blackened seasoning fired up Carl's bowels and he was dropping Cajun Swamp Gas all night. It was so ripe that he gave his girlfriend a dutch oven to share the rancid stench.
