We are as unique as our dialect suggests, we are Cajuns. We are a very small ethnic group that is primarily concentrated in Southern Louisiana. Our ancestors were exiled from Acadie, France by way of genocide (1755-1785)Families were tragically seperated, or killed. Acaidians what are now known widely as Cajuns have a tragic and complex history you should read more about.
The word "Cajun" comes from the French pronunciation of Acadian which is "A-Cad-jin" or "Cajin" which then became "Cajun",

An ethnic group mainly living in Louisiana, mostly constituting descendants of Acadian exiles (French-speaking settlers from Acadia, New Brunswick or Nova Scotia, in maritime provinces in Canada). Today, the Cajuns make up a significant portion of south Louisiana's population, and have exerted a great impact on the state's culture.

A group of the toughest people I have ever met in my entire life. Texans have nothing on these people. They cook great food, friendly for the most part, unless you piss them off. Typically found in Louisiana.

A phrase orginally coined by The_Law, which means "to do incorrectly." However, Cajunizing is also used to describe putting a big tire on a narrow rim. The term was derived from the username Cajun4x4, a legend in the Swamper Brotherhood community who sensationalized the practice of running big tires on skinny (8") wide rims.
1. A lifestyle glamorized by Cajun4x4.
2. To complicate something too much.

Also get FULL ACCOUNTABILITY of parts BEFORE you even park the truck to wrench on it.... Don't cajunize yourself there.
Big tires on skinny wheels, the epitome of Cajunizing.
