I have heard that the term Zydeco, the music style in S. Louisiana, comes from the french ‘des haricots’, because that’s what they usually had to eat.

Toodaloo = to the loo = I'll go take a sh!t (just kidding)
No wonder why this was the easiest phrase to remember for me. 👋
@jadcharif
I would say “a plus”
A shop -> une échoppe is my favorite.
The good translation of “See you later” would be “A plus tard” 😉
There is also some examples of what we see as an anglicisme : Toast (like toasted bread), which is widely used in French Canada. It is indeed an anglicisme… but! The word toast comes from old French « toste ». So, I like to say we took back our word :D
Whaaaaaat toodaloo comes from French :O nice to know :)
And atishoo when you sneeze sounds almost exactly like what the French say when you sneeze!
Dandelion is a word like this
...and then, in french, we re-translated it to "tourlou!" 🤣
