The best slang term for any tube-shaped meat-derived fast food item is the Democracy Sausage.

That’s really specific though and only applies to the one you buy from the stall outside the voting booth after voting in an Australian election.

I am american and also only learned what a glizzy was from that specific video, which may explain why I think it's a dumb word for dumb people

Ironhead. Mmm.


I also thought Glizzy was just a stupid name for a Glock, which kinda makes sense when you're calling bad rear end biker guys Bikies in some parts of the world.

I legit thought throating a Glizzy was shoving a pistol into your, or someone else's, mouth, and never put alot of thought into some dumb internet thing.

Glizzy definitely did/does mean Glock at some point, but in the general zeitgeist, it just means a hot dog now.

I recall that it's DC area slang because the magazine of a Glock looks like a hotdog somehow

Also this is how I learned the term, and it's the most chaotic minute you'll ever see

I'll share one of my dumbest moments: I had no idea until posting in a Star Trek forum thread how "tout de suite" was spelled.

I had first heard a homonym of it as a child in the musical Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.* The inventor creates a tiny candy flute and sells it to a candymaker in an elaborate musical scene. The candy is called "Toot Sweets."

Somewhere along the way I absorbed the correct meaning of "tout de suite," but managed to never see it in print, so in my head, as a fully grown adult, it continued to be "toot sweet."

And so, when I energetically replied to someone in the Star Trek thread, who had posted some online resource or another, that I would have to investigate it "toot sweet," I finally learned the correct spelling. And provided some amusement to several posters.

*Incidentally, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is as 1960's Disney as you can get without being a Disney film. It was based on a child's book by James Bond author Ian Fleming and produced by Bond film producer Albert Broccoli. It has music by the Sherman Brothers, who were a major Disney music duo.

Well, I guess I halfway learned a new thing because I thought it was tout suite. I dunno if the de is just smushed in quickly enough that I never noticed it, or if the times I've heard it just left that out by mistake. I'm guessing the latter.
