More Words I Like

Lagniappe (n): a gratuity, a gift with purchase, an extra you weren't expecting

Agitprop (adj): of or for agitating and propagandizing, (n) any agitprop activity or agency

Schadenfreude (n): glee at someone else's misfortune

These words are fun to know and fun to say, so try dropping them into a conversation from time to time. Your friends will think you're either a brilliant speaker or an obnoxious show-off. Let me know how it goes.
