Sandwich vs. Sammie Showdown

December 23, 2009 by Julie 13 Comments

Yahoo! Today is my last day of work before four days off for Christmas!

I am so excited and anxious to get home to spend some quality time with my family, Ryan and Ryan’s family. I made sure to pack up my bags last night so we can grab-and-go when I get off work today.

Dead Gym

This morning the gym was a ghost town. There was only a handful of people there gettin’ their sweat on.

After BodyPump, I once again I listened to my sister’s iPod during my cardio session. Notable song of the day: “You’re The One That I Want” from Grease. A classic, for sure!

"You're the one that I want, You are the one I want, O o o honey!"

“I’ve got chiiiiiills, they’re multiplyin’! And I’m loooooosing contro-ol…”

Breakfast

I did it! I made it throughout this mini-week at home without going to the grocery store.

Breakfast today made use of food we had on hand. I enjoyed a Canadian bacon and Colby jack cheese breakfast sandwich on an Arnold honey wheat sandwich thin.

Breakfast Sandwich

These sandwich thins are delicious. I love how doughy they are.

Notice how I called this a sandwich and not a sammie. Well, Ryan forbid me from calling anything a sammie anymore because he says the word is ridiculous.

To be totally honest, I completely agree with him and had a bit of a blonde moment over this particular word. I honestly figured a sammie was like a mini sandwich.

What food slang do you think is ridiculous?

When I think of a sandwich I think of something really substantial with lots of meat, veggies and cheese. A sammie, to me, was just a toned-down sandwich.

After Googling the word, it seems like this particular variation on the word sandwich annoys a lot of people. It annoyed me too just to write it, but I thought I was differentiating between a big ol’ sandwich and a little baby sammie.

Now that I know I’m not, I’m back to enjoying sandwiches. 🙂

    LOL I also don’t like the word sammie. I know there are some others I am not a fan of, but I can’t think of any. We love the arnold thins, too. They are so good!

    My cousin used to hyphenate everything back in college he would call burritos “reets” and tacos “tacs”. I wanted to slap him…

    I also don’t like “sammich”.

    Today is my last day at work til Tuesday, too. We usually get let out a bit early, which is nice.

    I don’t think there’s any food slang that really bothers me. However, I post on beauty-related boards and I must say that ‘poo for “shampoo” repulses me! Ick!

      Being from Rochester, NY an hour East of Buffalo, I do in fact say BAG-els & melk :p It’s hard to tell though if it’s a ‘me’ thing or if it’s widespread! Haha.
