frogapplause commented on the word sausage sizzle
Although ‘hot dogs’ can be found Down Under, a more popular option in Australia is called ’sausage sizzle’. It’s a barbecued sausage on bread, optionally with condiments and onion. ‘Sausage sizzle’ is a versatile word, though – it’s kind of like the word barbeque. It can be used to describe food, but it also describes a gathering of people, grills and adult beverages.

If a "sausage sizzle" is a gathering of people... that makes Wordnik a sausage sizzle. I guess.
