Here's the 2012 Merry Christmas Video you've been waiting for! With no spared expense in both costuming (note the identical Columbia Southern Sunglasses) and set decor (Note the rented van)!
Mark Twain writes about the word in a chapter on New Orleans in Life on the Mississippi (1883). He called it "a word worth travelling to New Orleans to get": We picked up one excellent word a word worth travelling to New Orleans to get; a nice limber, expressive, handy word "lagniappe." They pronounce it lanny-yap. It is the equivalent of the thirteenth roll in a "baker's dozen." It is something thrown in, gratis, for good measure. So it is, this blog is intended as a little something extra.
