ACADIAN FRENCH LANGUAGE LESSONS

The French spoken by some Acadians in New Brunswick is sometimes called Chiac.  It's a version of the language that is sprinkled with English words.
Halle ta frame: ” ‘Halle ta frame’ is like ‘hurry up.’ It’s like, ‘Get going. Halle ta frame. C’mon.’ ”
Tcheu dose: “Basically it’s like, ‘What a d–k.’ I say that all the time.”
Tcheu plaise: “What a useless d–k.”
Baye d’la gas: “It’s like, ‘Go for it.’ ”
