For the record, "sammich" is a common southern word with roots all the way back to that first reddish-colored neck. It is used to describe anything placed between two slices of bread, (or sometimes a "jam" sammich, which is two plain pieces of bread "jammed" together)
OK, not sure about the roots or the color of the neck, but it is a common word in this part of the country, and carries no bad connotations.
