- samatman 6y agoyes, and as Army slang, it made it into American English through Vietnamese
- xupybd 6y agoVery cool. Did not know this. Will have to tell my Vietnamese wife. We were trying to figure out if English had any Vietnamese words. I think this counts.
- selimthegrim 6y agoI'm pretty sure in Louisiana it was already in slang through French here
- wolco 6y agoHundreds of years of French culture through Louisiana. Other unique French US cultures: Haitian Creole New England French were are Canadian migrants. Missouri French Muskrat French from Michigan North Dakoka Metis French It could have come to some from 40 years old but it was already here for many. Still it's a French word. It is like going to Germany and learning an English word but calling it German.
