In southern Louisiana, inhabited largely by "Cajun's", (that is, people descended from Arcadians, who came from Arcadia in Canada), it is customary to "make groceries", meaning go grocery shopping at the local supermatket. Also, if a Cajun wants to call you over to discuss something, the expression is likely to be "Hey Joe, come see". And if a Cajun mentions "eating tails and sucking heads" he is talking about feasting on crawfish, which are essential on any true Cajun menu.
