Why are hotdogs called by this name?
Why are hotdogs called hotdogs?,its not like the meat dog,well going on the one I last ate maybe so lol,but why did hotdogs get this name from?
The Cartoonist story is actaully a myth.
The butcher’s guild in Frankfurt-am-Main created a smoked, spiced sausage in a thin casing, dubbed a “little-dog” or “dachshund sausage” for its resemblance to the German dog “Dachshund” in 1852.
The real source of the term hot dog came from Yale. The term had been recorded there as early as 1894 as a sarcastic description of the dubiously composed sausages that vendors peddled from “dog wagons” near the dorms.
It was derived from a cartoonist T.A. Dorgan.
He was trying to say, “Get your dachshund dogs while their hot!”
He forgot how to spell dachshund so he simply put the word hot.
Also another likely cause is due to wiener dogs, have you ever seen them, they look a lot like hot dogs only they have a face, paws, eyes, noses etc etc
From http://www.hot-dog.org/ht/d/sp/I/38595/pid/38595:
The origin of the word “hot dog” stirs as much debate as the existence of UFOs. Conflicting stories abound and everyone wants to claim ownership of the catchy moniker of America’s favorite food.

Your more than welcome :)
thanks
