Recipe for a Cajun Accent
 
 
 
 
 

Chop the g off words that end with ing.
Looking becomes lookin'; pinching becomes pinchin'.

Substitute all long i sounds and short a sounds with ah.
time becomes tahm; half becomes hahf.

Sift out the hard consonants at the ends of words.
Told becomes tol'; best becomes bes'.

Boil all th sounds till the h evaporates.
Throughout becomes t'roughout; thing becomes t'ing.

Melt all are, air, and ere combinations into ahr.
Care becomes dahr; hair becomes hahr; where becomes whahr.

Finely dice "correct grammar" to a pulp. Gently toss words about within common phrases. Stir in a lilt, and add a pinch of music to the voice. Simmer into a rich stew. Spice with humor, a relish for festivity, a love of relazation, and a dash of the drammatic.
Garnish with love
Cook at approximately 80 to 90°F.

Bon Appetit!
