Big Ronnie is a Gulf Coast, south Texas description of any sort of snack that will tide one over until they may get another snack, or all together satiate their appetite. It can also refer to a huge snack that rather segues into a main meal.

The Gulf of Mexico, which is also known as the "Third Coast" has a culture of its own. Many, "country, Creole, backwards, and red neck," words creep into the lexicon of modern English (in the United Sates). Colloquialisms are useful and important to holding onto culture and the ever-changing dynamic of this incorporating language: English.
