What does it mean??? I don't understand it and I have never heard of it it either, but I remember I've read it previously on PT, perhaps posted by you.

Laissez le bons temps roulez is the theme of Bourbon Street and the French Quarter in New Orleans....

LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL!!

It was also the theme of the Catmobile trip to New Orleans!

I really learn a lot with this thread I did some search on a language forum I belong to, and I found it is a specific Cajun expression. And indeed, it's not correct at all in French. Some French translations would be "Que la fête commence!", "Eclatons-nous", or the closest "prenons du bon temps".

This thread is getting funny, I like it (that's PT!)
