Do you call your child "sausage"?

[Fragmentedbrain]

It's really annoying

No aibu I'm confident iabr

Yes, but chickens exist whether or not they are bred to be roasted.

Sausages do not!

I would suggest, for example, that ‘piglet’ is an inclusive nickname wrt omnivores/ veggies, but ‘ham’ or ‘pork pie’ not.

Ditto Lamb, and Kebab or Lambchop.

i have two little sausage butties.
definetky pickles, squids. Pickled squids occasionally.

Yes but only on her birth cert and official documents. We just go with Saus for ease in daily life

I have a chicken. Or sometimes chick. Or chicken noodle soup. He is now 12. He asked me to stop calling him that and a variety of other pet names a few months ago. Can’t say I blame him. He said ‘Will you please stop calling me those silly childish names?’ and I said ok (felt a bit chastised tbh.) But sometimes I forget🤣 I’m not really a pet name calling type of person. I didn’t do it with his older brother. Maybe DS2 is suffering from being the youngest. And very small and cute.

Sausage sometimes and chicken othertimes

I call the dog sausage! And he isn't a sausage dog.

I do.

I call my cats my little sausages when they are sprawled out on the sofa and they seem to like it. I also call them my little cumberlands when they are curled up, I am not sure of why or when the sausage based names started.

No, but it reminds me of my friend at school’s terribly posh dad who called all women or girls ‘sausage/sossi or soss-pot’. I loved that.

Late DM used to say "Poor sausage" when I was poorly ♥️

Yep, every now and then I try different ones like "pickle" "pumpkin" a la Sally Hawkins in Paddington (mainly to embarrass DD) but regularly go back to sausage!
DD is 19 😂

Not now as they are young adults but I did occasionally when they were little. DS had a lovely childminder who always called him sausage- I found it very sweet.

I call my dog sausage though (he is not a Dachshund and his name is unrelated to sausages).

😂

When our daughter was little we used to call her Poddle. I haven't the faintest idea where we got that from.
When I was a child I was never addressed by anything but my full first name, not even the shorter version I preferred. 😥 The one exception was when my great aunt called me Poppet, which I loved and have never forgotten even though I'm an old woman now. I think sausage is a cute and affectionate thing to call someone, (although I realise some would need it to be 'vegan sausage').

I'm with you OP. I know I sound like a cantankerous old cow but some people's nicknames for their kids irritate the crap out of me but weirdly nicknames for pets don't. I know a mum who calls her 3 kids munchkins and loads of mums seem to use Boo and Moo a lot which is equally as irritating.
I perfectly accept IABU but I can't help it

My dad called me 'sausage.' I'm 60 and he's been dead for 20 years. It's a nice memory.

50% sausage, 50% chunky chops. Unrepentant.

I used to call my dog Petit Saucisson

No i am a misery, I don't call anyone any pet names, it all makes me cringe! honey, darling, lovely, hubby and by far the worst hubster bleh

We have fish faces

My mum called me 'chickadee' as well as 'chicken'

I call my son 'monster munch' and my daughter at 16 still gets called 'piggle'. No clue where any of these came from but we all roll with it.

This is cooper. He was regularly called a 'mummys little sausage man'. And he totally was. I miss my little man.

I used to call my DD Pickle but we adopted a dog who was already named Pickle a few months back (hence the name) so now I’ve got an actual pickle and DD usually goes by either squid or beanbag. Absolutely no reason behind either.

I call my son a cheeky chops, and my youngest daughter has a pet name of "Woodles" that my DH called her when she was a baby, which goes quite well with her actual nickname of her first name.

I always like pet names and think they're quite sweet. I couldn't really care less if anyone else thinks they are childish or silly. They are for children, after all 😆😏🤷

Yep I have two sausages. Saucissons when I’m feeling fancy.

Sometimes I like to switch to french and call my DD my little saucisson
