In Australia, they commonly call hot dogs "frankfurters" or "sausages." Some people may also refer to them as "snags" in. Evie Black.
Snag. Definition: sausage, also used to refer to sliced bread and sausage combo, Australian hot dog. Example: “Grab a few snags for the party tonight!” Snag isn't just a part of Australian vocabulary; it's part of Australian culture.
Snag is by far the most common, and can refer to just about any kind of sausage including basic sausages and even hot dogs. Bangers is less common and a term borrowed from Britain, but still very popular in Australia.
In the US, the term hot dog refers to both the sausage by itself and the combination of sausage and bun. Many nicknames applying to either have emerged over the years, including frankfurter, frank, wiener, weenie, coney, and red hot.
It is assumed that 'banger' relates to the noise made by a bursting sausage, and the nick-name dates to the first or second decade of the twentieth century. As for the word 'snag', the first reference to it use for 'sausage' given by the Oxford English Dictionary is in 1941, which seems very recent to me.
chook. A domestic fowl; a chicken. Chook comes from British dialect chuck(y) 'a chicken; a fowl' which is a variant of chick. Chook is the common term for the live bird, although chook raffles, held in Australian clubs and pubs, have ready-to-cook chooks as prizes.
Much like frankfurter, wiener, frank, link and footlong, a "glizzy" is just another word for a hot dog. The phrase isn't as aged as some of the rest of those terms, though: It gained popularity in the early 2020s, though the term was widely used in the Washington, D.C., area before that.
British sausages are sometimes called bangers because back then, sausages had a habit of bursting open while cooking.
One popular trend on TikTok is “Glizzy Gobbler” – referring to people eating hot dogs ridiculously fast. The use of “glizzy” as a reference to hot dogs has become a popular trend, with many users posting videos of themselves eating hot dogs in various ways or making jokes about the term.
Australians use a couple of other colloquial words for a hen's egg. The Australian English word googie or goog is an informal term that dates from the 1880s. It derives from British dialect goggy, a child's word for an egg. A closer parallel to the jocular bum nut, however, is the word cackleberry.
Courgette & Zucchini – Basically, both are edible forms of the cucurbit plant. The word 'courgette' is used among British and New Zealand people, while that of 'zucchini' is used in North America and Australia.
Australian and New Zealand English uses "chips" both for what North Americans call french fries and for what Britons call crisps. When confusion would occur between the two meanings, "hot chips" and "cold chips" are used.
In NSW they're frankfurts. And in Queensland they're correctly called cheerios.
The term "esky" is also commonly used in Australia to generically refer to portable coolers or ice boxes and is part of the Australian vernacular, in place of words like "cooler" or "cooler box" and the New Zealand "chilly bin".
Tucker is a word that Australians use for food. You will hear this word used a lot in more in country towns compared to the city.
Today, however, Germans refer to the hot dog sausages as Wiener, while Austrians call them Frankfurter. Both Vienna (in German: Wien) and Frankfurt claim credit for the origin of the hot dog.
This version of Mexican hot dogs, also known as street dogs or Los Angeles hot dogs, is believed to be a riff on a similar recipe that originated in Sonora, Mexico. In Los Angeles, they're sometimes fried on a mobile D.I.Y.
As you can see, the phrase "hot dog" can be used as a noun, a verb, an adjective and even as an exclamation. Some of its meanings are positive: excellent, flourishing or expert — but some have been used in the pejorative sense: pornographic, a showoff or a mean way to call someone gay.
McHotDogs were first featured as summer menu items in 1995 at select Midwestern locations at the franchisee's discretion. Hot dogs were presented as a seasonal menu item in the summer of 2002 at venues in the UK.
McDonald's introduced the McHot Dog in 1995 at certain locations. Customers weren't so hot on them, and they were later removed from menus in the U.S. The late McDonald's founder, Ray Kroc, vowed that his restaurants would never sell hot dogs, so maybe they were doomed from the start.
Whatever its ultimate origins, German immigrants brought the food to New York in the 1860s, where street vendors sold them as “dachshund sausages,” presumably because of their shape. It is from this that the term hot dog derives, with the implied suggestion that the sausage really was made of dog flesh.
