Definitions

1

Louisiana word for a mongrel dog — your classic mixed-breed yard pup of no particular pedigree. Almost always said warmly, like 'good ol' cayoodle'. The root is imitative: an older verb 'kyoodle' meaning to yap or bark, which the OED traces to the noise itself. Big in NOLA and across south Louisiana; rarely heard outside the state.

“She's just some cayoodle the kids found behind the gas station — sweetest dog we've ever had.”
