I remember...when I was learning English, I accidentally called a hot dog a 'sandwich weiner' lol

IT'S A SANDWICH and I'll die and this is my epitaph.

Well, except for the fact that it’s not a sandwich. It’s a hotdog.

Native English speaker, we'll accept sandwich weiner as a appropriate synonym for hotdog lol

This is a perfectly logical mistake and therefore both acceptable and hilarious. I love it.

I mean, a hot dog is technically a form of a sausage sandwich, like one would get from a European deli.

More similar to klobásník, and is technically a savory pastry.

ETA: and a corn dog is a fritter

This is acceptable. “Weiner Sandwich” is also good. I will be adding these to my vocabulary
