[Lexicog] Hot dogs

[Amsler, Robert]

It's not that simple... I'd say it's "hot 'hot dog bun' dogs"

	That's a funny picture, Fritz. Even if you didn't expect a
reply, I'd say that if the temperature was hot when the picture was
taken, it would be a picture of hot dogs. And it's also a picture of
hotdog dogs. Since it is a frontal picture I, personally, wouldn't refer
to "hotdog buns" or "hot dog buns" being in the picture, with "buns"
having the more recent meaning referring to the buttocks. But if we can
separate the buns from a hotdog, then, again, if the temperature is hot
we might have "hot dog buns" and, for sure, "hotdog buns."
	 
	I can tell you that those are not weiner dogs!
