Do you call your child "sausage"?

[Fragmentedbrain]

It's really annoying

No aibu I'm confident iabr

Sausage dog (my toddler son!).

I will be calling all my colleagues 'sausage' from now on.

Will make a pleasant change from calling them losers.

Yes, all the time! I had no idea this was such a thing 😆. Huge nickname fan - I have a Chucky Egg, baba Chuck Chuck and a Little Dipper too. It probably makes some people's toes curl.

I call my youngest “Lickle Saus”.

He’s growing up well balanced and confident despite this.

My DD is known by the family as Cabbage, Cabs or Patch. None of the names reflect her real name.

But "Sausage" always makes me think of Linda Carter in East Enders talking to her adult son.

I call other people's children sausage.

My own are angeybangey (angel) and bumley or bumlington. Obviously 🙄

Often call DS silly sausage but my dad used to call me spadger wadger. I’ve no idea why. 😂

I love that your Dad had a best tracksuit. Mine had a best shellsuit.

Especially when the child is being a twat. 'oh you're being a pickle today aren't you' as said child is kicking the bus stop glass. Erm, no, he's being a knob.

No Sausages here. Mine are Chicken, Chickpea, Flower, Flowerpot or Petal. Ds(13) also gets Fluffy.

😂

Me and my sister were both sausages as kids.

My son is a cheeky chicken or a cheeky chickpea. Even though he's mid-20s.

My uncle always used to call us "sausage" or "chicken". I actually didn't mind.
It was girly endearments that I loathed - "sweetheart", "poppet", "petal", "lovey". They really brought out my inner Wednesday Addams 😠Still do, to be fair.

😂I agree and when I hear others with cheesy nicknames I think it's cringe but I don't even realise what I am saying most of the time! We come out with all sorts of crap in our household and nobody even bats an eyelid 😂

You are a Londoner 😂

In the nicest way possible… what the hell is wrong with you? 😂

Its a term of endearment 🤷🏻‍♀️

Their faces when I say goodbye by shouting "laters, losers" cracks me up every time

My mum calles me sausage.. Still! Pickle, Pumpkin, a few other vegetables....
One of my northern aunties calls be Chook!

Yes. I work as a TA in a school and do it too.

Sausage, Bubbles McGinty, Sweetums, Babychops...

He can drive.

No shame.

No. It doesn’t make sense to me as a term of endearment and not one that I have ever heard outside of tv.

This is reminding me of the social media trend that was "give your dogs name and what you actually call them". The escalation from their actual name to the ridiculous nicknames was hilarious - how does it even happen?! 😂

Our two never get called by their real names unless they are being naughty in public. Otherwise it's Chicken, Chicken Little, Monkey, Monkeypants, Sausage, Sausagechops... The list is endless 😭

I've never heard it said that way tbh,

Yes. But we spell it sosij. Makes all the difference.

I’ve got a Chops and a Bingus…
