How do you say that?

 

La * gniappe (\'lan-,yap\) n.

Lagniappe derives from New World Spanish La napa, "the gift," and ultimately from Quechua yapay, "to give more." The word was then adapted in to New Orleans's rich Creole dialect where it acquired a French spelling. It is still used today in the Gulf states, especially southern Louisiana, to denote a little bonus that a friendly shopkeeper might add to a purchase. By extension it may mean "an extra unexpected gift or benefit."
