Puzzle Pirates, or the alternative newspaper named Lagniappe.Lagniappe means a small gift given to a customer by a merchant at the time of a purchase, such as a 13th beignet when buying a dozen, or more broadly something given or obtained gratuitously or by way of good measure; a bonus.[1] The word is used in Trinidad and Tobago, Puerto Rico, Louisiana, Charleston,SC, gulf coast of Mississippi, the gulf coast of Alabama, and extreme south-eastern Texas. It was also once in common usage by antiquarian booksellers, without regional limitation, and is still used by more old-fashioned members of that tribe.
