"That was too close...You were almost a Jill Sandwich.
サンドイッチが出来上がるところだったぜ
"
— Barry in Resident Evil

"Jill Sandwich" is a phrase derived from a humorous English translation choice in the original Resident Evil. It is spoken by S.T.A.R.S. member Barry Burton after partner Jill Valentine escapes being crushed in a descending ceiling trap inside the Spencer Mansion. This line became a popular saying in the early fandom alongside "I have this" and "itchy tasty", and it was reused in other games as an in-joke.
