You’re right, Ryan. I guess Yat is as Yat does.

You speak of chalmette and the 9th ward as if they have a monopoly on yat. My family is all from “Metry” and I’d peg a good many of them as yats. Granted, we don’t have the thickest yat accents of anyone you’ve ever heard, but I’ll attribute that to one family member having a masters in “elumentry ejuh-cash’n” and another having her masters in “speech p’tholgy”

All those years in New Orleans, and whenever someone asked me “So, where are you from?” I thought they were refering to my obvious out of town-ness. It got so I’d just say “Met’ry” and hope that did not discern the yankee accent under my Vic’n'Nat’ly impression.
