I just remember the term being thrown around alot in my Italian grandmother's house when I was a kid.
I'm probably so far off base though...
i thought it may have had something to do with jd parran or a poboy ;)

What is it then?
you make goceries
How do you "make" groceries?
you've learned to swallow the king cake baby without choking
Eh?
you put alligator pears in your salad
Again, Eh?
And, since you mention it, what is a parran?
in new orleans, we don't go grocery shopping, we make groceries. as in, "i'm goin' to make groceries. need anything?"
if you find the baby in the king cake you have to host the next king cake party (or bring the cake to the next one). ever since i was a child, i was told to just swallow the baby ;)
alligator pears are avocados.
everyone tells me a parran is a godfather...but i am just not getting the connection....
Fait accomplis (sp?) means something that is already done. Another example is Fais-do-do. The children are told to go to sleep or "make do-do" while the adults dance.
Thus when we are doing the grocery shopping, we are "making" groceries.
