    I’ve heard the opposite from other gens Français - they described Quebecois as a 400 year old version of the language with vocabulary ride with things like cauldrons and so forth.

      They must have been talking about “calice” or “ciboire”, which is not quite right. As far as I know most of the vocabulary they describe comes from some kind of defiance against catholicism and is about holy stuff (calice, ciboire, ostie…), which is quite funny
