What Does 'Vous Aux Ga Ca!' Mean??

Hi -

I speak some French but can't understand this expression which Loius proudly shouts about Cecily at the party -

"Hey, vous aux ga ca! Can my daughter dance?!"

Is it Cajun? The words mean "You * * that..."

Is he saying "Hey get a load of that/check that out!" or does it mean something else?

Thanks for any input as I've been wondering about this for years!

Merci!

It's most certainly Cajun French. The grandmother says a similar thing in the beginning 'to get this woman's butt out of my face or else she'll kick her' or something similar.

Probably means something in the likes of 'Have you seen this?/Can you beat this?" although I'm not too entirely sure.

I'm thinking he said, "Vous-autres regardez ca!" Creole for "Y'all look at that!" Not sure how it'd really be spelled, though.
