Maggie’s Is Frank a short hot dog?

No, a hotdog is a type of frank. The franks in “franks and beans” are cut short as a function of the dish- and to fit in the can.

Frank is short for frankfurter, a thin smoked sausage- of which hotdogs are a subset.
 
Am I the only one who came here expecting this to be a weird Lowlight comparison?
But it is…

Re-read the original question:
“Is Frank a short hot dog?”

Not: “Is *a* frank a short hot dog?”

Play on words? Strategic grammatical error?
In short, the Bear Pit will get to the bottom of it and solve this small problem.
