    Wtf? Even my descriptivist ass is telling whoever came up with that that they’re wrong. A burrito is a calzone? An enchilada is sushi? Words mean what you mean when you say them, but they also need to have some structural stability. Out here calling sushi toast. Wtf.

      You poor unsaved soul. No, sushi (such as pigs in a blanket) is sushi. Toast (such as nigiri) is toast.

        If I ask for salmon on a bagel, and I get butter on toast, we’re having words.

          I’m sorry, what’s the difference exactly? That’s just two terms for a flat layer of starch with non-starch on top. “Toast,” if you will.

          Well of course nigiri sushi isn’t a type of sushi.

          You think earwigs are an affectation worn by people who are self-conscious about their lack of ear hair? That lightyears are a unit of time? That a urinal cake is a type of lasagna?
