Dr. Jon's Lagniappe

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.
