Born and raised in BR and heard all three.
Hickey was primarily used by black folks for a knot on the head. "Son, get that yard done or i'ma put a hickey on yo head."
White folks used "Hickey" when talkin about makin out and suckin on necks and shite.

The only people I have ever heard call Baton Rouge "Red Stick" are people who don't live in Baton Rouge, thinking they are witty. I mean, sure, local businesses will sometimes use it, but no one calls it that in conversation.

I have, quite literally, never heard a single one of your examples.

Calling SJA "The Academy". Mainly by the old snobby women who went there back in the day.

I don't know about sayings, but Baton Rouge seems to have a high amount of streets that change names
Gourrier Ave -> Burbank -> Siegen ln -> S. Sherwood Forest-> Sherwood Forest -> N. Sherwood Forest
Brightside -> Lee -> College
Lsu Avenue -> Stanford -> S. Acadian Thruway -> N. Acadian Thruway
Bluebonnet -> Coursey -> George O'Neal
Claycut -> Goodwood
Corporate Blvd -> Old Hammond Hwy
Staring ln -> Essen
Fairway dr-> Tara blvd -> Connell's Park
Dalrymple Dr -> Park blvd -> 19th st
Government St -> Independence
yet we have Jefferson Hwy that has two separate pieces about a mile away from each other down Airline

How can you be Baton Rouge fancy?

quote:Where did you grow up? Sounds like some of these are maybe South Louisiana instead of just BR.
I didn't grow up in Baton Rouge and "cobb" and "booksack" were common terms for us.
What about "razoo"? Used to mean an impromptu little driving trip (sort of between a Sunday drive and a more planned outing.)
As in: "We just took a little razoo to Ramah but ended up stopping in Maringouin."
