00:00 Hello, it's John Baptiste and this is my favorite slang from New Orleans.
00:04 "Wazam, woody. Wazam."
00:15 It's "what's happening."
00:17 "What's happening?"
00:19 "Wazam-nin."
00:21 "Wazam."
00:23 You see the progression?
00:25 "Wazam."
00:27 Another one you might hear me say is "where you at?"
00:32 "Where are you at?"
00:35 It's like philosophical too. It's like "where you at?"
00:38 Not just "where are you?" but just like "where you at?"
00:42 "Ooooh."
00:44 This is like, it's not really a slang but people say it "laissez les bons temps rouler."
00:50 People say it in New Orleans sometimes means "let the good times roll."
00:54 That's some of my favorite New Orleans slang, "favoriters."
