Thank you @cajunduck_man for the help with many of the words! It's funny how simply knowing the origin of your sayings changes a weird word from being embarrassing to being something you're proud of.

I do plan to learn full French, and will be interested on how that will supplement my learning more about my Cajun heritage.

Any ideas on this word? I think it's the only remaining word. My hunch is that it is a mash of English "c'ocked", but I'm not sure where the "ee" part comes from.
"Ee-cok-Ted" >> when a picture frame is crooked, or something is all helter-skelter like a shirt that is buttoned wrong.
