You think Ground Hog's day and Boucherie Day are the same holiday.
You take a bite of 5-alarm Texas chili and reach for the Tabasco .
Fred's Lounge in Mamou means more to you than the Grand Ole Opry
You have an "envie" for something instead of a craving.
You use two or more pirogues to cover your newly planted tomatoes to protect them from a late frost.
The horsepower of your outboard motor is greater than the motor in your car.
You pass up a trip abroad to go to the Crawfish Festival in Breaux Bridge .

You describe a yard of boudin and cracklings as "breakfast."

You learned bourre' the hard way - holding yourself upright in your crib.
You consider the 4 seasons as: winter, spring, summer, and hunting!!

You might be Cajun if:

You use 4 Corners (in Cecilia) as a landmark.
Your favorite fishing spot is at the Pontoon Bridge.
You think Choupic is the greatest fish in the world.
You can pass through a drive thru to pick up boiled crawfish and a beer.

every set of directions having to to do with Cecilia starts with, "From the 4 corners"
I always hated pontoon bridges
I'll pass on the choupic
driver thru crawfish places are awesome! They have this place in Lafayette I used to hit up all the time when I was in college.
