Picard	Word meaning--rigadoo (50)	RE: Word meaning--rigadoo	22 Sep 98
Bonjour, from Montréal, Québec . Rigodon or rigaudon is indeed an old french dance , my Larousse Étymologique , says the word appeared in 1694 .Later it also meant a military drum call. Today, it is sometime mistaken with "gigue ". (BTW , gigue is from the German " geige " meaning a fiddle or a leg .) As for budget , It comes from an old french word not used anymore :" bougette " wich means a small bag . In modern french "budget" is considered from english origin .
