Hot dog


Strange word for a hot sausage in a roll or bun - the story goes because a sausage looks like a German dachshund (Dackel).

So, the term "dog" was used as a word for "sausage".


According to a popular story, the use of the complete phrase "hot dog" in reference to sausage is created by the newspaper cartoon around 1900.
