  • Bob Was a Shoo-Shoo

    Bob Was a Shoo-Shoo

    NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions By Ned Hémard Bob Was a Shoo-Shoo Every boy that grew up in New Orleans (at least in my age group) that managed to get himself into the least bit of mischief knows that the local expression for a firecracker that doesn’t go off is a “shoo-shoo”. It means a dud, something that may have started off hot, but ended in a fizzle. It just didn’t live up to its expectations. It could also be used to describe other things that didn’t deliver the desired wallop, such as an over-promoted “hot date” or even a tropical storm that (fortunately) wasn’t as damaging as its forecast. Back in 1968, I thought for a moment that I was that “dud” date, but was informed by the young lady I was escorting that she had called me something entirely different. “Chou chou” (pronounced exactly like shoo-shoo) was a reduplicative French term of endearment, meaning “my little cabbage”. Being a “petite” healthy leafy vegetable was somehow a lot better than being a non-performing firecracker. At least I wasn’t the only one. In 2009 the Daily Mail reported on a “hugely embarrassing video” in which Carla Bruni called Nicolas Sarkozy my ‘chou chou’ and “caused a sensation across France”. Bruni and Sarkozy: no “shoo-shoo” here The glamourous former model turned pop singer planted a passionate kiss on the French President and then whispered “‘Bon courage, chou chou’, which means ‘Be brave, my little darling’.” The paper explained, “A ‘chou’ is a cabbage in French, though when used twice in a row becomes a term of affection between young lovers meaning ‘little darling’.” I even noticed in the recent French movie “Populaire” that the male lead called his rapid-typing secretary and love interest “chou”, which somehow became “pumpkin” in the subtitles.

(By Mike Kaczorowski). It was AWESOME!! Apparently, this type of event has been happening in Europe these last few years. I got an invite to do the GARDEN route into Holland once and I have US reenactor friends who went to Normandy living the experience over so many days. I wish there were more immersion type events here even if they weren’t a week in length. Now an event lasting for multiple days is a lot to ask but why cannot a tactical event last for 24 hours? Is this too much to ask? Way back when, I remember trying to have an all-day in the field tactical at Weldon Spring. Everyone was to be prepared to tough it out and stay in the field. So, there I was, sitting in my old mortar pit (near the SS redoubt) all alone munching on my rations, listening to a coyote howl while the sun was setting. Every other reenactor was back at base! It was and apparently still is hard to keep folks from gravitating back to their cars or HQ which ever, is most convenient after a short burst of mucking about.

PREFACE The prevailing custom among the best hotels and restaurants of printing their menus in French has resulted in a continually increasing number of guests who demand of the waiter a descrip- tion of a dish before ordering it. The waiter frequently guesses, often wide of the mark, and the result is a disappointed and dissatisfied guest, or the waiter Toothers a too busy chef whose des- cription is necessarily l^rief, hurried and incom- plete. The latter way consumes a waiter's valu- able time and tries the patience of a hungry and waiting diner. , \ My aim, therefore, in compiling this bool^ has been to supply head waiters and waiters with immediate, accurate and sufficiently detailed in- formation to enable them to quickly ^furnish a patron with a satisfactory descriptioii^oi any dish /^ on the menu.
