Knuckle Sandwich may refer to: a knuckle sandwich, or a proverbial punch to the mouth. The term is often used as a taunt by someone who is threatening to punch another. For example: "I'll give you a knuckle sandwich!" When taunting, an action is often made with the taunter's hands, pounding a fist into their other open hand, as if punching the one who is being taunted. If the taunter is really angry, they will grind the fist into the open hand for added effect.

“The result of civilization, at the Sandwich Islands and elsewhere, is found productive to the civilizers, destructive to the civilizees. It is said to be compensation—a very philosophical word; but it appears to be very much on the principle of the old game, “You lose, I win”: good philosophy for the winner.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
