A Smartass Post
[Pronounced LAWN-yap. Or, LANNY-yap] An unexpected gift. Or, an extra, additional benefit received after making a purchase.
The practice of taking a nap on a lawn after eating a large amount of lasagna. Whatever. But I hope your Christmas has been filled with joy and happiness, and a largesse of lagniappes.

Thanks. Same to you. Mark Twain helped make the word famous. It was fashionable to use, about a hundred or so years ago.

She could hang out with my cousin and her sister Kay. I’m sure Kay, Sarah, Sarah and the rest of the gang will be fine.

Looking at the spelling versus pronunciation, I was picturing a sunbathing Frenchman… kinda’ hard to un-see now.

Imagine him sunbathing for longer than advisable. Then you can picture a French fry.

Yep… That’s the image. A lawn nap by a French fry in a Speedo. Guess that brain-worm is my X-mas lagniappe. 😛

What a terrific word, and very fitting for the season! Years ago, before it closed, our local bakery would often give you a cookie when you purchased your bread 🤤 I thought they were lovely, now I know what to call it!

Pffft! I took it to my bank and handed it to the teller, with a note that said, “Give me all your $20 bills, up to this amount.” Would you believe she called the cops on me?

No. When I saw the cops, I ran. Fortunately, I was wearing a Covid mask, so nobody can identify me.

I was thinking ‘log nap,’ myself.

Would that be the kind of nap where you sleep like a log, or the kind where you snore so loudly you’re sawing logs?
