Talk:Dagwood sandwich

message: Eventually, this article should also address:
-When did the term enter common usage?  Dagwood Bumstead was from 1933, he made sandwiches at least as early as 1944, but possibly earlier.  But when did people outside the comic strip begin using the term "Dagwood Sandwich"
-When did Webster's New World Dictionary first include "Dagwood sandwich"?

replies: text:     I'm another one of the jerks who actually consult OED, and i hereby attest to the fallibility of even OED as a WP:RS. You might BTW consider the fact that OED values the resource of  readers who send in refs that are older than the current edition's first-use date; clearly they haven't gotten (or hadn't, 10 years ago) adequate info in this vital area. Or perhaps uses by the originator don't count? Is it a real word when only one person has used it?--Jerzy•t 21:12, 26 November 2016 (UTC)

message: Gandolfo's New York Delicatessen has a sandwich they call the Dagwood. It has roast beef, turkey, ham, corned beef, swiss and cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, mayo, spicy mustard, salt and pepper. (There are no Gandolfo's in New York.)

I have just added archive links to  on Dagwood sandwich. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add  after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add  to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

message: "Now, I enjoy a good laugh as much as anyone... except perhaps my wife. And some of her friends. Oh, and Captain Johnson."  And i imagine the sandwich photo would be easier to create using food, than to fake. (Interested readers will enjoy, as i did, the background information attached to the photo but not reflected in this article's link to it.) However, i doubt the image of a real-world dagwood adds anything in the way of 'pedia-worthy information relevant to the topic: any fool can see that as long as enough of an intelligence-compromising substance is involved, a bet could be made that will result in a construction comparable to that in the photo. Further, the photo provides no verified nor even noteworthy information about one or multiple r-w dw-ses (and even a Guinness BoWR entry would IMO fail to make the real-world sub-topic noteworthy, except possibly if a verifiably sustained DWS-race ensued). I am not unilaterally removing the photo, but 
# i have recaptioned the photo from "A Dagwood sandwich" to "A real-world realization of the Dagwood-sandwich concept", to clarify that we do not assert that anything comparable has ever been constructed except under the influence of dangerous amounts of alcohol, testosterone, or other rationality-impairing substances. (The large majority of native speakers of English probably can recognize this photo as what i'll describe as a form of practical joke, but i, for instance  -- tho i've contributed on de:Wikipedia -- am not proud enough of my German that i'd expect to correctly construe a German wikipedian's corresponding German-language caption for the same picture. How much potentially misleading info de:WP can tolerate is up to its editors; IMO the world role of English imposes tight anti-misconception standards on en:WP.)
# 1 or 2 sympathetic responses to this from colleagues could suffice to convince me to remove both photo and caption, without bothering with a formal poll.
