sandwiching
Putting in middle
Sandwiching is placing something between two other things, like filling between slices of bread.
The term applies physically—sandwiching insulation between layers of drywall—and figuratively to scheduling or positioning: She sandwiched a quick lunch between meetings.
In communication, sandwiching criticism between compliments is a common feedback technique.
