Do you call your child "sausage"?

[Fragmentedbrain]

It's really annoying

No aibu I'm confident iabr

We didn’t call DD sausage. Wouldn’t want her to think we’d confused her with the dogs. dachshunds, obviously.

Sausage roll
Cupcake
Sweety pie
Monkey face
Monkey pants
Honey bunny
Butt face
Cutzie wuutsy
Proton
Small one and big one

And very occasionally, their actual names.

Chill out.

I call my child all sorts. Told her she was a baked bean earlier. She's often a "funny onion". And she gets called "poops" or "stinky bum" quite a lot too.

She laughs and calls us it back.

Nothing wrong with a term of endearment that is out of the norm. Anything is fine.

Yes. From when he was tiny. He even had a shirt with 'sausage' on it.

He's 6foot plus now and I still call him sausage. Or clever sausage if he's been clever. I call the cats sausage too.

And my daughter.

I don't eat sausages though. Like 🐖 too much to put them in sausages.

We once had a case at work where a guy tried to set his neighbour's flat on fire because he called him a sausage

Why do they need to chill out for expressing an opinion on their interpretation of a nickname?

Nowhere did they say there was anything wrong with other terms of endearment.

The entire thread is about how the word sausage annoys her. What's the point?

My cat could claim sausage as one of his many nicknames. He often gets called flowerpot.

That is just, plain and simple, not true.

Yup. Sausage. Sausage-pants. Sausage-pie. Pickle. Pickle-pants. Plus lots of others, but sausage is high up the list.

We are a Daxie family and yep, we do the same thing!!!

Sausage or saus/ soss

I work in hospitality and our place does online deliveries that are picked up by drivers.
One day to keep us mildly entertained we would hand over the bags of drinks to the drivers by thanking them and using different, and ever increasingly bizarre, pet names. Sausage was the one that got raised eyebrows.

I call mine tiddles I don't know where it came from just sort of happened and stuck. I would rarely if ever say sausage dont believe I ever have.

Poppets were plastic beads that popped together when I was a child in the late 1950s.

That combo sounds like a really terrible episode of Ready Steady Cook!

DC1 was Pickle, DC2 was Sausage, DC3 was Baked Bean & DC4 was Sweet Pea, or Wee Cheeky, which got shortened to Cheeks. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Mine are sausage and M&M. The 2nd one has some logic as links to her name. No idea where sausage comes from but I'm clearly not the only one 🤣

Call them all sausage - easier than using their names 😆

I think chicken is regional. My grandad called me it.

• In the UK, especially in working-class areas, people sometimes use “chicken” (or “chick”) as a term of endearment, similar to “love” or “pet” – especially in places like the North of England.

Of course!

What’s your view on ‘old bean’, OP?

My DC are variously poppet, popsy, poppleton, and old bean.

I love 'old bean'. It's much better than 'old chap'. And is also unisex. 'Old chappess' doesn't sound quite right.

My mum called me Chicky. My DC is Pumpkin and my DCat is Precious Boy...

Sometimes Sausage, sometimes Bug, sometimes YouAbsoluteKnobhead

That annoys me a lot too! Irrational rage is my thing right now.
