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.

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

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

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

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.
