Talk:Wiener

Just like to say that the page Weiner lists "Wiener" as a common misspelling of that word, yet this page states the opposite. Any definite answer?

Oh come on! No slang term for penis? NonEnglish speakers would probably like to know this before using it even though it's probably universal. All the more reason to have it in there. --184.167.52.7 (talk) 07:27, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
A wiener is not a hot dog edit
A wiener is not necessarily a hot dog, though the sausage in any hot dog is a wiener. That is, there are the types of wieners that are used in hot dogs, but there are also wieners that are not used in hot dog. The term itself is derivative for Wien (German for Vienna), because of this type of sausage originating in Vienna, though the traditional ones are longer and curved as opposed to the straight and short ones typically used in hot dogs. In any case, it's incorrect to say a "wiener is a hot dog". Unfortunately, we don't have an article on the general topic of (genuine) wieners. Probably should have one. --Born2cycle (talk) 00:50, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
- The English text Vienna sausage was created in August 2007. It was existing in July 2010, and is still. ThomasPusch (talk) 07:19, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
