The Yat Dictionary

Now, at long last, an exhaustive compendium of the fascinating language of the Yat. --- James Nolan says of Chris Champagne: "What Dylan Thomas did for Welsh, Chris Champagne does for YAT." And now, for the first time, what Chris has done for Yat is compiled into a complete reference for tourists and New Orleanians alike. As noted scholar and linguist Dr. Nancy Dixon says, “If you ain’t got this book, how you gonna talk right, Dawlin?” ----------------- "If scholars in a hundred years want to study the foibles of New Orleans, they will turn to Chris Champagne, but then again scholars usually ain’t that smart."-- Ronnie Virgets -------------------- "A chronicler of our town and our times, Chris Champagne is the boiled crab of comedy."-- Chris Rose -------------------- --From The Yat Dictionary: --Aag - Egg. “Ma favorite breakfast is bacon and aags.” Also slang for a goofball. “That guy ova dere is a real aag.” --Acrosst - Across. As in crossword puzzle instruction. “Fo-teen acrosst: a seven letter word for across.”
