| I have a quick question. I tried to find the meaning of "all-dressed" in my dectionary and on the web. But I cannot find the exact meaning. I find examples on the menu such as: All-dressed hamburger, pizza and barbecue Or just All dressed:$... Could you please teach me what it means and describes? I am looking forward to hearing from you. Lynn |

Consider this common exchange between my mother and me when I was little, "Are you dressed?" "Yea" <--- I'm lying "So you are all dressed and ready to go?" "Uhm... sort of" It can also be used as you pointed out, all-dressed hamburger, or all-dressed pizza, usually meaning that the item has all the toppings on it. I haven't seen "all dressed" used in this way nearly as much as "fully dressed" which means the same thing. Last edited by borat; 02-Dec-2005 at 18:15. |
