(on the telly) I just heard some English grey-haired bloke call his wife 'sausage'. They are on good terms (with each other) but that seems to me the opposite of a compliment, dude.
Mmmm, can that be used as one?
~ yeah, love you too, sausage ~
Oh, I do something similar with my oldest niece/others as well.. like she's talking about, dunno.. food or suttin' and mentions e.g. cabbage and I then say: 'no, you, you're a cabbage yourself!'.
Sounds lame now maybe.. but it can be fun (at times).
