If a hotdog is a sandwich, is the ocean a soup?

[–] TheRealKuni 10 points 2 months ago (2 children)

A hotdog is not a sandwich.

If you serve bacon, lettuce, and tomato on a plate, you do not call that a sandwich.

But if you serve a hotdog without a bun, you still call it a hotdog.

QED.

In German, that would be a just a sausage

Do you have a term like “hotdog” for a sausage of questionable origin in a bun? Or is it, like, sausageofquestionableorigininabun like other German compound words? 😁

The best German word is backfeifengezicht. It means: "a face in need of a slap/punch"

nah in this case it's just sausage on its own - i know, boring 😄 people only refer to it as hotdog only if it's in a bun

And using that same reasoning, a hotdog on a bun is a sandwich.

[–] TheRealKuni 3 points 2 months ago

I would be inclined to agree with, “a hotdog on a bun is a sandwich.”

It is The Primordial Soup

[–] Agent641 2 points 2 months ago

I would like the primordial salad instead

A hotdog is a taco.
