      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.

            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?

        Ugh. How awful. How could a burrito be a calzone when a calzone is a ravioli?

        When the true Cube Rule believers are rewarded with all manner of toast, sandwiches, tacos, sushi, quiches, calzones, salads, cakes, nachos, and muffins, you’ll be sorry you plied your tasteless heresy this day, filthy food miscategorizer! I bet you call hot dogs “sandwiches” like a true troglodite!

            Oh, you’re just confused, you see. Of course sushi (such as enchaladas) are sushi. See? Would you care to recite the Creed of Cubic Food with me now?
