He called me a sausage?

[Anonymous]

Hi people of the Uk. I’m from the Us here. I have a guy I game with, he’s from England and we play on pc. We have played every night for two weeks since we met on discord. And Well, lately he’s been calling me a sausage more and more. we usually meme around and play with pet names, jokingly, but this one he usually does with serious intent it seems.. he’s told me to not think too hard on it. I asked him if he meant silly sausage which I found online. He said he purposely left out the silly and that it’s a term of endearment and to not dwell on it. But how can I not? I’m so confused. Is he insulting me? What does it really mean? So Um some clarification would be very much appreciated. Thanks..

Heh, well it is sort of used in that context to suggest that you are acting in a cute or playful way (probably not romantically cute, but funny cute, if that makes sense).
As he says, it's nothing to take too seriously and there's not much I can infer just from him saying that. It's pretty normal but likely means he finds you funny and playfully cute, which could hint at attraction of some sort.
It's similar to silly sausage however he may have simply refrained from using the word silly in order to avoid any confusion or negative connotations associated with what he was saying.
Hope this makes sense somewhat, please ask if you need me to clarify anything else. I'm from the UK. 🙂
Have a nice evening.

Much appreciated! I looked up that it means foolish or stupid lol, so I didn’t know if I was being insulted. Much thanks for the response!

[ExcellentHarry]

Not a problem at all lol, highly unlikely it's being used as an insult. All the best from the UK :)

Hi what does ta’ duck mean?

[ExcellentHarry]

Hi, well ta just means thanks usually and duck is kinda similar to him saying sausage really, it just means "dear" if anything, but I think that's another English expression too. Not much different from saying buddy or something like that. A friendly sorta thing. I can tell he is probably from a different part of England to me lol but that's all it means
🙃

It's no big deal. Take him at his word.

Sausage on its own is an endearment. Adding silly is used when you do something silly. You throw an antique vase in the air and then drop it... you get called a silly sausage. Not in a nasty way. Just a SMH.

Thank you for your response. The only thing that comes to my mind is breakfast food but I’ll take an endearment! Lol

As a British person, it’s usually used to call someone silly, kinda the same meaning as calling someone a ‘donut’. At least that’s what I grew up knowing.
