Natchitoches argued over its pronunciation—“
Natch-ee-tush” vs.

In Broussard, another couple couldn’t agree on whether it was
“Broo-sar” or
“Brew-sard.” The waitress helped by saying it slowly:
“Brrr…-oo…-ssa…-rrd,”
and they agreed on “Broussard.”
A third couple debated Chitimacha, unsure whether it was “
Chit-i-mash-uh” or
“Chit-i-mak-uh.” After the waitress said
“Chii… ti… maa… chaa,
” they decided on the latter.
These stories highlight how local pronunciations
in Louisiana lead to humorous debates,
often resolved by a friendly waitress offering the final, slow enunciation.
