A ‘SHIT SANDWICH’ is a method of delivering some bad news, advice, or a rejection of someone’s idea(s).
It is designed to make the bad news, advice or rejection more palatable, easier to take, and/or easier on the receiving party.
It is used to ensure the the person hearing the bad news, advice or rejection actually listens to what is being said so they can eat and digest it…
You want someone to eat the ‘Shit’ (bad news), you serve it between two lovely slices of bread.. hence ‘Shit Sandwich’
I thought this was a term reserved just for obgyn residents but apparently it is universal. My example:
Example #1
Hi anxious guy, you have been here for a few weeks. I really liked the way you delivered that baby the other night, real nice.
By the way, nurse bitchface mentioned that she thinks you are dangerous and shouldn’t be anywhere near a vagina for any reason. I think she has a valid point and I am placing you on probabtion.
But that’s a nice shirt tie combo you have on today, very professional.
The shit sandwich.
I prefer you leave out the bread. Just hit me with the shit. I can take it. I hate passive aggressiveness. If you want you can wrap the shit in two slices of fresh baked shit. A shit menage-et-trois.
Example #2
Hey anxious guy, you suck,
oh by the way you fucked up so much today I can’t find a specific example to give you feedback on. Let’s just call the whole day a fuckin writeoff.
Oh yeah and I also think you dress like a homeless person.
Hmm, I am not sure that is much better. Maybe just the filling. Shit slurpy with a chaser of honey. Not fresh honey but honey left out that has gone rank with seeded botulism, yeah that kind of honey.
Example #3
Anxious guy my golden retriever can tie a knot better than that,
Honestly, you would think someone with such impressive education (the honey), wouldn’t be so inept and useless in an OR (the botulism).
Yummm
