In New Orleans when you order a sandwich the counter person will ask if you want it “dressed”. This is the local colloquialism for “would you like it with lettuce, tomato, pickles and mayonnaise”, you see, “dressed” just sounds better and is so much easier to say. I am not sure historically how this term came to be, but it has been and is still the way to order your sandwich in New Orleans.
