Do you call your child "sausage"?

[Fragmentedbrain]

It's really annoying

No aibu I'm confident iabr

Mine are either mon petit chou-fleur (cauliflower)/mon petit chou (cabbage). Not even French but inherited from my mother. Or.........a silly sausage if they are being daft 😂.

I really detest 'little man'. 😡

My dad calls me and my siblings all saus. Also saus woss. We're all middle aged and he still does.We used to wonder whether it was so he didn't have to remember our names or know who was which.

My DC are monkey chops and lion. Obviously.

Cute!

For some reason I call mine boobie or boob 🙈 I try not to in public.

What has a sausage ever done to you?

Don't know about sausage but I call my daughter 'pudding' or 'pud', she's 23 and I still occasionaly say it 😁

I've a Sausage, s Rasher, an Egg and a Waffle.

As diminutive it's Sausie, 'Sher and Waf. Egg is just Egg, however people think we named her after a character in This Life, which is terribly embarrassing.

Sometimes people think Waf is American, but what can you do? They're just old fashioned.

Ah must be a Welsh thing then 😍

I was

the wean
teeny bash
baw jaws

Don't think I was ever "sausage". I have no aversion to it though. My mum LOATHED the ubiquitous (in our neck of the woods) "hen".

I do actually yes.

When they were younger we used to make a 'sausage roll' which was a kind of cuddle where you roll around. Jeez that sounds weird. They'd kill me if I did that now.

My youngest is sweetpea when he's good, and shitpeas when he's naughty (but only behind back!).

Yep

Hey sausage. How was school

Perhaps her name is Anna Magdalena; a character in a book who hated people shortening her long name, and her uncle called her sausage.

I promise I’m not a troll, but DD has one friend who’s parents always address her as (name)-ypoos

🤮

I think calling kids "darling" is worse.

Why do you care.

Mine is Bean. Stems from my first pregnancy scan when the midwife told me he was the size of a bean. He's taller the me now, but still my little Bean.

My parents called me sausage, and I call my kids sausage or chicken or darling 😂 Never really given it much thought!

Vegetarian here too and one of ours was called sausage. He’s grown up now so call him hotdog instead 🤣

That said… best avoid anything which might be offensive in future…

Sausage- offensive to vegans, veggies and faiths who don’t eat pork.

Poppet- offensive to anyone who has ever choked on a small, hard, marble-like sweet.

Chicken- (and variants) see above.

Monkey- I probably don’t need to explain that one.

Sweetie- offensive to people with diabetes.

Little man- offensive to people with Dwarfism and vaguely adulting.

Pud/ Pudding- offensive to people with body issues.

Am I being goady? 😜

I’ve gone with ‘dude’, I’m afraid.

Eggs are referred to as Chucky eggs in Derbyshire too.

At least two vegetarians on this site have already said they use sausage as a nickname. Including myself

Sausages are not just made of meat

Goady- yep- but MNetters can handle that. It’s a nice day 💐

Oh and my youngest gets "Actual name Von Crinkle Bottom". No idea where that came from.
