I suppose we Cajuns say a lot of things that "others" think are strange, but one thing that we do say is we "save" things rather than saying we "put them away." It seems we are actually like some others here who say "pop" for carbonated drinks, "y'all" for you all. An endearing term we use which stems from the French "cher" is "sha" ( the a having the short sound as in at). Ex: "sha little girl" or "Aw, sha!"
