That would confuse folk around here, where a 'sannie' is either a sand-shoe, or a sanitary towel.

 

Think it is more of a Southern thing.

I think I have heard people saying sambo before, I don't mind that. I still have a Black Sambo book.

 

Fair point, but if somebody was asking what you had for lunch and you replied, "a bacon sannie", surely people wouldn't be confused? For the record, I wouldn't use the word "sannie" but it is a more obvious name for a sandwich than a "sarnie" is.

 

Not heard that word in a long time.

 

They'd think you were weird for pronouncing it a sannie.

 

Like I said, I wouldn't say it, but it is far more logical to say that than "sarnie"

 

Next time I'm in the Soup Kitchen I may enquire if they have any sambos on the go.

 

Logical? Or rational?

 

Ask for a "hang sambo" fs that sounds bad but you'd hear that every day in these parts.

 

Logical

 

And there's your problem and answer in one word.

 

That English people have no logic? That is a bit harsh, mate.

 

Sannie fair ryan, as they say.

 

I would just call it a sandwich. Most people in Scotland would call it a "piece'.

 

Jesus, really Mick?

I honestly had no idea the word had a different connotation in Ireland

What with me being a "Man Of The Earth" you would have thought I would have known.

I do hope Cliffy doesn't think any the less of me.

 

Agree buddy. Sandwich is the only correct term.

"piece" is a term used by louts. Anyway should it not be "piecey"?

 

Or in your case, a piecer

 

What is a hang sambo? I ger the sandwich bit, but what does the hang bit mean?

 

It does appear to be a northern thing. In which case, I definitely won't be using it in future. I should have known better.

Good day, sir.

 

Hang = ham ,different dialects,more so outside cities but very common
