Are you my neighbor? I called my son a wee sausage last night (not something I call him often). But I call him lots of different names “my baby angel cake”, “my little honey pie”. He usually makes names back for me, and then we make up silly songs.

My husband looks at me as if I’m nuts.
But my mum and I did the same thing too when I was a child: and her dad did too lol

My favourite memory of my small three year old from the top of the slide yelling at me ‘I can’t go down because Sausage won’t go down!’ He’d been patiently waiting while a dad cajoled his kid from the bottom saying ‘Come on Sausage you can do it!’
😆

I want her to actually be called Sausage.

I have a very vague memory of once upon a time knowing what her name is. I think it was a common girls name like Amelia or Lily or something.

alcoholnightmare · 24/06/2025 14:00

I call mine “babes”, “darlin”, or “handsome”

I love this!

I call one of my dogs ‘sausage’. It’s not his name but he doesn’t seem to have an opinion on it. He is not a dachshund either.

Our 97 year old family friend has just started calling our 10 year old 'Snooks'.

I think snooks could be short for shnooki ookams

My dad calls me sausage and I'm 39

Aaw, that's nice

I bet he's a lovely dad

x2boys · 24/06/2025 14:05

Fragmentedbrain · 24/06/2025 14:05

I think I interpret sausage as passive aggressive is one thing

Like you're annoyed with someone else present and say "COME ON SAUSAGE" then stalk off

I concede that's probably reading too much into it

I’m sure a Big Brother contestant called everyone “Chicken” and it exploded after that.

I find it far more annoying than sausage.

This is a one-person-only term of endearment. And I gave birth to that person!

Ezesonfire · 24/06/2025 14:06

Sausage brain. After a Sooty skit many years ago.

Kpo58 · 24/06/2025 14:07

Mine are called Wiggle

OurMavis · 24/06/2025 14:07

No, but the cat sitter called the cat "Mr Sausage" on a video message and I now call him sausage. The cat that is, not the sitter.

Aw, that'd be a sweet origin for the name.

NattyFox · 24/06/2025 14:09

I have a monkey

I call everyone Sausage…

DramaAlpaca · 24/06/2025 14:09

My dog is called sausage.

My youngest child is Twizzle. He's 27 Grin

Daffodilsinspring1 · 24/06/2025 14:10

Never called my children sausage. However my youngest child nickname is Small Pants, used to be Captain small pants!

InfiniteArmyofOctopi · 24/06/2025 14:10

I don't but it doesn't bother me in others
When DS1 was little he was Moo, short for sucky-moo because he was such a dummy obsessed child.
I call DS2 baba ghanoush

FishPie2 · 24/06/2025 14:10

My friend has always called me Sweetie - I hate it.

Katiesaidthat · 24/06/2025 14:10

My mum used to call me that, and honey bun, and cheeky chops, now she has trouble remembering who I am, so I have very fond memories on when she used to call me that. Thanks for reminding me.
