Word of the day Today's word is LAGNIAPPE. Lagniappe [LAN-yap] noun: a small gift given a customer by a merchant at the time of a purchase; broadly: something given or obtained gratuitously or by way of good measure Example: Leaving for her shift last night her daddy told her that it was buy an hour get a free<b> hand job </font></b>as lagniappe to try and bring in more business. Did you know? "We picked up one excellent word," wrote Mark Twain in Life on the Mississippi (1883), "a word worth traveling to New Orleans to get; a nice limber, expressive, handy word—'lagniappe'.... It is Spanish—so they said." Twain encapsulates the history of "lagniappe" quite nicely. English speakers learned the word from French-speaking Louisianians, but they in turn had adapted it from the American Spanish word "la ñapa." Twain went on to describe how New Orleanians completed shop transactions by saying "Give me something for lagniappe," to which the shopkeeper would respond with "a bit of liquorice-root, ... a cheap cigar or a spool of thread." It took a while for "lagniappe" to catch on throughout the country, but by the mid-20th century, New Yorkers and New Orleanians alike were familiar with this "excellent word." What an interesting word with a very cool author giving us an excellent history of it. I always find it interesting what words this site thinks are spelled correct and incorrect. It liked this one and knew it lol...wild. Anyway happy new year! I had a great time last night despite my period starting and having cramps and feeling like poo-poo. I made the best of it and my lady friend brought a bunch of dresses for me to try on and I chose the second one I tried since that seemed to be the consensus of all the other ladies that was looked great on me. Got a nice smooch from her and my friend M who did my piercings and a few nice cheek smooches from various other guys. Tons of compliments and was told I looked hot by a couple of complete strangers. I'd call that a great night  Today I went for a walk with my and then came home and made some Filipino pancit noodles and fried up the egg rolls that I got from one of my co-workers and man oh man that was a super nom nom meal! Now I'm ready to call it a night. Oh yeah...finished off the 2 cigarettes I had left and tomorrow will be day one. Wish me luck! Hope y'all have a great night

Now why is it... that people think they should receive 10-45% off of something at sale? Why do I hear the same sad song 82 times everyday about buying multiples of something, or paying in cash? IT'S MARK TWAIN'S FAULT!!!! Hummm, do you think a spool of thread is going to satisfy them!? Love is the triumph of imagination over intelligence. Henry Louis Mencken  Follow Me to Jubilee's Joint...
