The "bread" is required to be sliced post-baking in order to put the filling in, so there is a reason an open-faced sandwich has sandwich in the name Merc wants us to have special names for these because Iceland does. English has sandwich for everything that meets my above definition (and that's why hot dogs are still sandwiches).

So you're saying that if a thing has sliced bread then it's a sandwich, even though nothing is being sandwiched?
That makes Caesar salad a sandwich.

Only the Scandinavian style open faced sandwiches have a special name, most open faced sandwiches are just called bread with xxx, since it's bread with something on top, again, nothing is being sandwiched.

If you're trying to argue that it's a sandwich because of the name, then you should also try to argue that people only have 8 fingers.

No, I'm saying if a thing requires that a baked "bread" item must be sliced in order to place a filling, then it is a sandwich. Thus a calzone or burrito is not a sandwich. A hot dog requires that the bun be sliced in order to receive the hot dog filling, thus a hot dog is a sandwich. You can take a flat bread and throw meat on it and it is not a sandwich. But if you slice bread and put meat on it, you have made an open-faced sandwich.

As for the thumb, it can be called the thumb finger. It's not required to have "sandwich" on there for it to be a sandwich, but if it is called sandwich, then that means it has a pretty good chance of being a sandwich. Just like a thumb can be a finger and a pinky can be a finger and people know you are talking about specific fingers without having to put "finger" on there.

Vlady your debate posts will never be taken seriously again after you said Alien isn’t a horror movie

So you are scared of traveling in space now because of Alien?

Yes

Are the Riddick movies horror?

I’ve never seen them

It cracks me up that you’re now forced to stick with that tremendously awful custom definition of the word horror. “It has to make you afraid of doing something IRL to be a horror movie”

You can’t just redefine WORDS for the sake of your argument!

Are you afraid to exorcise demons from your daughter after watching The Exorcist?

Are you afraid to check into a hotel after watching The Shining?

I have hope that one day you’ll look back and see how whack your definition is but I have a sneaking suspicion you’re already fully aware

There are a large number of people who are afraid of Satan and demon possession, so yes, people are deeply afraid of it IRL. I can't tell you how many people are still uncomfortable about hotel hallways like The shining, but the key thing people are afraid of from the Shining is: 1) Whether or not it is a haunting or not, which many people are afraid of IRL, and 2) a crazy person coming after you with an axe to try to murder you. I still get uncomfortable sometimes in showers because of Psycho. Horror plays on your fears, not just jump scares.

Outside of the Alex Jones watchers, most people aren't afraid that they might run into an alien wreck, investigate it, and find themselves impregnated with an alien. Thus why it is in my mind a sci fi thriller rather than a horror movie. Otherwise you start stretching horror into silly things like Disney's The Black Hole- look at the terror involved in your ship falling into a black hole. Terrifying! It must be horror! </sarcasm>

My eyes rolled out of my head

They are in my lap

Call a doctor

You can’t stick with this clearly wrong definition but it’s gone on too long to claim as a joke

Claim insanity! It’s your only hope!

Where do you fall on zombies

Why is it fair to be afraid of demons and possession movies but you have to be an Alex Jones follower to be afraid of aliens

So silly, all of it

The Empire Strikes Back had a monster in it that almost ate the Millennium Falcon. Clearly this makes it a horror film.

And that Darth Vader walking around in a black suit menacing folks? So scary for little kids.

I mean, if you are gonna water down your horror label, you should go all the way.

You’re bad at this

No, you have to be an Alex Jones follower to think that there is a good chance you will run into a derelict alien ship on a different planet than ours that will lead to you being impregnated by an alien, since your ability to go there is limited by the Deep State that doesn't want you to use our developed space travel because then we will know about the reptile aliens amongst us already who are putting chemicals in the water to make the frogs gay.

As I said- not something that most people are worried about.
