Dirtwich

Dirtwich: noun. Bread held between a few ingredients often including meat. The dirtwich was invented in the 18th century as a response to the popularization of the sandwich. This invention was made by a group of gamblers who were angry that they didn’t think of the sandwich to keep their cards clean first (as the group was large and every member claimed that they had equal contribution to the idea, no names will be given). It is not clear exactly what these people were thinking when they made their invention; some say it was simply to mock the sandwich while others claim that they had some belief that creating the opposite of a sandwich would cause them to cancel out allowing the group to reinvent the sandwich, while most believe that half of the group were mocking and the other half hoped the inventions would cancel out. Hopes of cancelling out the sandwich did not come true, some believe that the only reason for this was that there weren’t nearly as many dirtwiches made as sandwiches, while people disagree with this most people agree that dirtwiches did not gain popularity because they  weren’t at all practical.
