A couple driving through Natchitoches argued over its pronunciation—“Natch-ee-tush” vs. “Natch-i-toosh.” They asked a waitress at a diner to say it slowly, and she responded, “Na… tchi… to… ches,” settling the debate with laughter.
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.”
