Cajun for "English-speaker" or "non-Cajun." The term goes back to when the Acadians were driven out of their homes in Acadia (part of the
Canadian province of Nova Scotia) by the British
Army and local officials in an early instance of ethnic cleansing.
In some parts of Louisiana, the word "anglais" ("English") is never spoken without "Maudit" ("Goddamned" or "accursed") before it - all in
one term - maudit anglais = "Goddamn Englishman," "Goddamn English-speaker," "Goddamn non-Cajun ('american' understood)", or "Goddamn
Yankee" ("Yankee" and maudit anglais meaning about the same thing.
