la·gniappe
(pronounced LAN-yap)
One can google the term "Lagniappe" these days, but I know this term from my family, who are in totality "of" Southern Louisiana. When the old folks sent them to the store for various items, they'd tack on the directive, "and bring lagniappe," which my Aintee explained was "A lil bit of this, a lil bit of that - somethin' extra from the seller for free." So that's what I bring here - my unsolicited thoughts, fascinations, amusements, and convictions. Given freely and hoping for growth and clarity for myself and readers in our exchange.
