Here's the official version of the pronunciation and meaning of Lagniappe (right off the T-Shirt):

la-gniappe
(LAN-yap)

n. Chiefly Southern Louisiana & Mississippi
A small gift given a customer by a merchant at the time of purchase; broadly: something given or obtained gratuitously or by way of good measure.

[Louisiana French, from American Spanish la ñapa,the gift : la, the (from Latin illa, feminine of ille, that, the; see al-1 in Indo-European roots)+ ñapa (variant of yapa, gift, from Quechua, from yapay, to give more).]

"We picked up one excellent word" wrote Mark Twain in Life on the Mississppi (1883), "a word worth travelling to New Orleans to get; a nice limber, expressive, handy word --'lagniappe.'

Great report Capt,

I hope our fishing is a as productive in May. I'd like to hook something really big - what a rush, even if we have to cut it loose.
Thanks for the food report. Sounds like we are going to enjoy ourselves too much.
Looking forward to meeting you, see you soon.

Hey Capt,

The wife wants to go if we aren't going to be out all day.

As for the BBQ, you get pole position and we'll be there as soon as we can. We'll tell the DMs we need to be back early for the BBQ - nothing a little tip can't fix.
