Let’s say that you’re on-the-run, hungry, and want to get a sandwich at a drive-thru restaurant. Any one will do; you’re hungry.
You spot a sandwich you like, say a grilled chicken sandwich. It normally comes with lettuce, tomato, and a sauce. But you tell the person at the drive-thru to make it “plain”. Now, when you get that sandwich, what do you expect to have on the sandwich?
When I say “plain”, I expect: chicken. That’s it. No lettuce. No tomato. No sauce. Am I the only one who thinks “plain” is an absolute term, and means what it’s supposed to mean?
