YABU. My Grandad used to call me Sausage all the time when I was a child. I'm the same age as you and this Christmas will be the 5th one without him. I would give anything to have him still with me, calling me Sausage... its a term of endearment.

macwoozy · 26/11/2009 00:34

Yikes I'm called sausage too!! But I'm more freaked out that my cousin is known as 'mash'.

OldLadyKnowsNothing · 26/11/2009 01:39

YABU, It's a lovely, affectionate word.

recalls using it for pfb

fernie3 · 26/11/2009 08:48

my gran calls me a soppy haddock... it could be worse (it is affectionate!)

pjmama · 26/11/2009 09:34

It's his right and privilege as I'm sure he'll always see you as his little girl, no matter how old you are. YABU

MintyCane · 26/11/2009 09:37

YABU lucky you

Ixia · 26/11/2009 09:44

YABU, my Dad calls me Bud or Sam, neither of which is my name!

SuperSoph73 · 26/11/2009 09:47

YABU

I call DS1 Sausage or Poop .... however, he's only 7 and hasn't told me to stop yet so I guess I can get away with it for a bit longer

Ivykaty44 · 26/11/2009 09:49

call him swede - get your own back?

msrisotto · 26/11/2009 09:50

My dad and sister call me sausage! Why? I have never understood it. I thought it was just them being weird but now i learn it is widespread! There MUST be a reason!

morningpaper · 26/11/2009 09:54

hahahha

I call my DDs sausage too

WHY?

RockBird · 26/11/2009 09:56

YABU it's lovely

deepdarkwood · 26/11/2009 09:57

dd is called sausage (or often sausie) precisely because my dad called me sausage. Where does this one come from? Little fat swaddled babies?

ChilloHippi · 26/11/2009 09:57

YABU. I call DS sausage.

Prunerz · 26/11/2009 09:58

It could be worse: my father called me Fanny until I was 15 and threatened to leave home if he didn't stop. He still has the occasional lapse and I'm 37.

OrmIrian · 26/11/2009 10:04

I used to be spud. Was spud as a baby but it re-emerged when I was just the right age to get very offended. He has stopped now. I rather liked it.

(spud was because of my name not because I was fat and shapeless I might add!)

CatIsSleepy · 26/11/2009 10:06

awww

i was a sausage, my dds are sausages too

perhaps you could be something a bit more grown up....chorizo?

Flower3545 · 26/11/2009 10:09

Count your blessings, I was "affectionately" known as Buggerlugs courtesy of my dad

ginnny · 26/11/2009 10:09

My Dad used to call me Princess or Poppet!!!
I used to hate it but actually I miss it now he's gone

teameric · 26/11/2009 10:10

YABU my dad used to call me princess, now it's his pet name for my DD, I wish I was still his princess

juneybean · 26/11/2009 10:12

I was always pud and I vaguely remember my cousin being called the little sodpot haha

upahill · 26/11/2009 10:13

You are lucky to have a dad that thinks of you in affectionate way.

whoisasking · 26/11/2009 10:15

I was pigeon

Unless I was constantly shitting on the car windscreen and was minus a foot, I don't really get it.

chachachachacha · 26/11/2009 10:16

Sausage is quite affectionate I think - my so called dad kindly refers to me as 'fatty' even though I'm not - bloody lucky I don't have a body image problem.
