Shit sandwich

[Mary Mallozziberg]

A SHIT SANDWICH is a method of delivering some [bad news], advice, or a rejection of someones 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
