Do you call your child "sausage"?

[Fragmentedbrain]

It's really annoying

No aibu I'm confident iabr

At home only and in a stupid voice : mummy’s baby and mummy’s big boy. Still do it and they’re 18 & 19.

Pickle is also annoying! The vegetarian equivalent of sausage. And the "l" is so often said like a "w".

I don’t understand this. Is the ‘I” a capital i, in which case pickle would become pwckle?
Or is lower case L in which case pickle would become pickwe?

My dad called me "saus", I have a low bar for irritation - don't like "buddy", "mate" or "dude" for kids but sausage is fine with me.

No chicken has been around much much longer than big brother… even my great grandmother said it!

Peanut and Sweetpea

I use all sort of food items as terms of endearment for my DC including sausage.
Also various animals.
And also various semi insulting terms - they absolutely know it is in jest/lovingly done and not to insult them

Sausage, monkey, ducky, flower, poppet, sweetpea, cupcake. I work with kids a lot so they get called all sorts.

I often refer to my children as 'my little sausages'

I have a kitten and a chicken. I even give myself the ick 😂

I call mine "prawn". Sometimes "prawn ball". Because when she was a baby she was small and pink.

Monster and Baby here although the baby is turning 8 in a few months so he's far too old but it's stuck since he was an actual baby.

I’m not English and call mine saucisse, hopefully that’s international and therefore fine 😄

Sausage, monkey shoes, monkey, sweetie, poopie pants, stinky pants. All terms of endearment and i have no idea why. The last two may have come from childhood explosions which stuck. Not literally...

Apparently 'puppyshit' (in Dutch obviously) is a term of endearment for a child in Holland.

Oh yes, I forgot - I also call them by food items and animals in different languages with a terrible attempt at accents, e.g. Mon petit pois

’dude’ is far worse imo

Guilty as charged.

I do and I have no idea where it's come from tbh it's stupid isn't it 😂😂😂😂😂🙈

@Herewegoagain84so your grandma is to blame??

Yes I do. I also call my children pumpkin, penguin, prince, princess, munchkin and bobble.

No, I'm Irish though, it's not really used as a term of endearment here 😂

Yep 😁

DD is either a silly sausage or a clever sausage

I sometimes call her silly sausage, but more often silly banana. I wouldn't call her just sausage though.
I called her sweet potato the other day and her response was "I'm not a sweet potato!" Her usual nickname is bean/little bean/beanakin.

Called a chipolata? That's even Wurst

No, but… Baby, Bubby, Darling, Doodles, Deedles, Smeedles, Smeedley Deedley, Deedley, Boodles, etc etc.
