A saying chanted by fans of the New Orleans Saints. The full line is: "Who dat say dey gon' beat dem Saints?"
Person 1: Pardon me, sir. Could you perchance identify that loosely associated group of individuals loitering around over there? I haven't got my spectacles and my glaucoma is acting up something fierce. It appears as if they're carrying on about eating to faint, but that doesn't sound accurate. Perhaps you could clarify the nature of their business here while you're at it.
Person 2: You could have just said who dat.

A long time ago, people used to be embarrased when they had tickets to a Saints(LA football team) game. They would put paper bags over their head bc the Saints, honestly, were not very good players (besides Archie Manning).
Now, please understand, the Cajuns in Louisiana,(desendants from French, Spanish, and German colonists+Native americans in the area), had very thick accents.Sometimes, and I mean most older Cajuns have this accent, pronounce "this" as "dis" or "that" as "dat".
So the people would point at the fans paper bags and ask, "Who dat?"
There is also a singer that wrote a song with these words as lyrics a while back. In late 2009, a man by the name of Cracka Trax Ft. Dat Boi Pantha sings the song "Who Dat Say Dey Gonna Beat Dem Saints (Put The Hurt On 'Em)".He on the other hand was a Saints fan bc of how they played that season.They eventually went to the Super Bowl of 2010...Wait...We're all caught up now!I hope dey win!!!

A term New Orleans Saints fans use that was stolen from the Cincinnati Bengals who dey chant and changed slightly by unoriginal and lame fans.
A short history of the 2 chants:
1930s: Who Dat used in cartoons completely unfootball related.
1981: Bengals fans create Who Dey chant during Super Bowl season.
1982: LSU starts Who Dat chant in imitation of the Bengals chant.
1983: Saints steal Who Dat chant from LSU.

1. Anybody that claims the Saints used "who dat" before the Bengals used "who dey" is ignorant.
2. Who Dey > Who Dat
3. Bengals > Saints
4. The Saints should create their own chant instead of stealing another teams.
