I learned a new word while on my birthday trip to Jacksonville (much more about that in later posts) last weekend. My new word is:

Lagniappe (lan yap) – used primarily in southern Louisiana, the lagniappe refers to an unexpected little somethin' extra.

Isn't that a great word? It goes along with the phrases ‘above and bound' or ‘extra mile' but in a single word! Lagniappe.
