Who uses wiener?

Some adults (especially parents) and children will use wiener in speech and writing as a euphemistic substitute for the penis. Due to its juvenile connotations, wiener can sound immature and is often a source of ridicule or humor.

Calling a person a wiener (i.e., a wimp or dork) can be considered mildly offensive. Calling a hotdog a wiener, while it still has some currency, may cause some confusion or snickers. Dachshunds, however, commonly go by wiener-dog; a 2016 film about the breed was even titled this.

Wiener is not to be confused with the common surname Weiner in German, Yiddish, and Jewish; however, this confusion is what leads to many of the misspellings of the word.
