Definitions
1
A person from Chalmette, the parish seat of St. Bernard ('Da Parish') just downriver from NOLA. The label leans hard into the stereotype: thickest yat accent in the region, dropped R's, 'how's ya mom-n-em?', a particular look and a particular attitude. Sometimes affectionate, sometimes a punchline, almost never used by Chalmette people about themselves — they're just 'from Da Parish'.
“You can spot a Chalmatian the minute they open their mouth — 'erl' for oil, 'terlet' for toilet, the whole bit.”
