I think his point is that the definition is problematic. He isn't trying too hard, just demonstrating the problems with the definition as it stands.

Dictionary.com-hot dog

a sandwich consisting of a frankfurter in a split roll, usually eaten with mustard, sauerkraut, or relish.

Sandwich-
1.
two or more slices of bread or the like with a layer of meat, fish, cheese, etc., between each pair.
2.
open sandwich.
3.
something resembling or suggesting a sandwich, as something in horizontal layers:
a plywood sandwich.


Merriam Webster-Sandwich

a : two or more slices of bread or a split roll having a filling in between
b : one slice of bread covered with food

A hot dog is a sandwich, like it or not.

To me, since all of the "layers" of the hot dog lie in the same plane, it is not a sandwich until it is turned on its side. If you eat your hot dog sideways, you are eating a sandwich. If you eat it meat side up, you aren't.

What is this insanity? Your entire post is called into question because of this.

An open face sandwich. I didn't write it. The dictionary people did and if you look up sandwich in multiple places, you'll see "open sandwich" or the like.

What exactly do you call an open face sandwich?

P.S. Dictionary.com also deems a corn dog to be a sandwich. That should blow your mind right into a thousand pieces.

a sandwich consisting of a frankfurter baked or fried in corn bread and usually spread with mustard before eating: often served on a stick.

Therefore open face sandwich =/= regular sandwich.

When you are making hot dogs, do you tell your friends "hey I'm making hot dogs, would you like one" or do you tell them "hey, I'm making open face frankfurter sandwiches, would you like one?"

A hot dog is a hot dog, and don't you dare put any ketchup on it.

Hot Dog = or ?

Horizontal layers

Plywood sandwiches

Corn Dogs = or ?

Pigs in blankets?

Wieners with arteries?

Sides of Frostop buildings say yes or no?

Po Boys with beef or shrimps? Oysters?

Deli Sandwiches vs Tacos vs Pizza sandwiches

Open faced sandwiches with or without chili?

Smothered Porkchops on a slice of wonder bread???

My mom spreading peanut butter on a single slice of bread and telling us it was a special sandwich so that she had enough bread to make all of the kids one before she ran out of bread.

All the stuff Elvis did late at night in the privacy of his kitchen????????

Hero/Hoagie/Loose meat

That's not a bun, its a roll, unless it's sideways, then all bets are off.

A sandwich is a sandwich, by definition, because the meat element can vary between multiple cold cut options and condiments are open.

Why is there no sand in a sandwich.

Which witch made this sandwich?

No club at a baseball game? I always thought there were at least two clubs at a ball game.

A Hot Dog under certain conditions is a sandwich, but a sandwich is not necessarily a hot dog.

Does a bite of sandwich in the southern hemisphere go down counter clockwise?

Meat pies? Grilled Cheese? Croissanwiches? Monte Cristo?

Is it a pizza burger or a pizza sandwich? If Pepperoni, sauce and cheese "sandwiched" in a bun/stuff/bun configuration? Still a sandwich?

Do NYC Chefs receive culinary acclaim for tiny deconstructed Sandwiches on a sauce decorated plate?

Where does all of this leave sliders?

A pig in a blanket is a sandwich, but what if it is extruded?

How about those 7,000 calorie Donut sandwich things?

If you eat a sandwich in Vegas, does it stay in Vegas? What happens if you leave real quick after eating it?

Matis will stay up with you to discuss it further.

I think I'll have a hot dog sandwich for lunch.

I am irrationally angry about that. That is the most nonsensical thing I've ever read

ETA: So does that mean LSU fans are sandwiches?

Also, what if I put two slices of pizza together, toppings inward? Does that become a sandwich?

I admit that I knew you would be upset, but I needed to do it anyway. It gave me a good hump day laugh.

If a calzone is a sandwich, then where in the hell does a waffle cone filled with fried chicken and mashed potatoes fall into the taxonomy?

The waffle cone is a gray area, but I believe that would fall into the "mystery" sandwich category.

-still a style of sandwich.
