BTW I don’t understand folks who object to “sangwich”

Its just an Italian American colloquialism.

What are you in for?

Convicts from nearly any racial and ethnic background are
now commonly found using this particular word.

Where I came from, the Italian-Americans always pronounced it "sangwidge."

OK, so the pronunciation wasn't restricted to them alone.

Pretty much everyone said "minga" too, whether they were Italian or not. :-)
