Wiener
-
A wiener is a sausage or hot dog. Because its the phallic shape, the word is also slang for penis.
In terms of spelling, wiener is a variant on the spelling of weiner, but both are recognized as correct by Merriam-Webster dictionary. The reason for the two different spellings is that in English the ei is pronounces an e sound, but in German it is the diphthong ie that represents the e sound. Thus the spelling wiener is the proper spelling taken from the German language, but the spelling weiner makes more phonetic sense in English.
