Whenever a tourist or an out-of-state relative drops by, some time is usually spent in explaining this Cajun term. From where l've encountered it, the word is used for various things. The shopper in the meat department asks for Iagniappe from the butcher, a beau having made one compliment too many calls it Iagniappe, or a politican - s X 1 . f f.

Lt shaking hands asks for a little lag- niappef' Of course, the shopper would like some extra meat Cequal to a baker's dozen'?j, the gentleman doesn't want his date to think him too wordy Cor get slap- pedj and the politican, I don't knowg l guess he's asking for a vote. Anything else these days might be dangerous. A young married couple is grateful for lagniappe to start their lives together, while the new mother can expect a smile when her little something extra is twins. The most common English phrase used to describe lagniappe has been just that, a little something extra. But the lit- tle extra comes from something deeper. Mutual respect by the person asking and the giver exists. Only through friend- ship or love would one person reach out to add a little more. As many times as it is asked for, lag- niappe is given without being requested. The desire to help a neighbor or please a friend has been part of a rich Louisiana legacy which still exists today. And so this essay is finished. Just a lit- tle lagniappe for the yearbook, ofcourse. 1 ' I , f ey- - r 2 , D- 5 fl' ' - X - 8 71 al Hr- 4 If .xg X - A - , 1 A ,V ' mix , H v r . f f fig ' Z , hx' -.uf iklyi . f q I xv r , ,Lt V., i 'X-Q . 5 VWWP, ,, . qi, 4 ' 1, A - . j 2 Y V f I 'I' 4 Q A .Ji - , f. 0 - .
