You can use "all-dressed" in Quebec and most people will understand you. For
instance, you can call the local pizzeria and order "une pizza large
'all-dressed'". I know it doesn't seem to be used here, in the US, but an
"all-dressed" pizza is one with everything on it.

So, back to the hot-dog, a "Michigan" hot-dog is an "all-dressed" hot-dog, a
hot-dog with almost everything you can imagine in it...

boring mindless things on dinosaur mainframes. Hackers believe that all
COBOL programmers are suits or code grinders, and no self-respecting hacker
will ever admit to having learned the language. Its very name is seldom
uttered without ritual expressions of disgust or horror. One popular one is
Edsger W. Dijkstra's famous observation that "The use of COBOL cripples the
mind; its teaching should, therefore, be regarded as a criminal offense."
