English Is A Funny Language!

I don't really care about how queer the language is as long as I can appreciate my hotdog and corned beef.

I really hope there is no dog in the hot dog.

Yes, it is an odd language with all it's idioms etc, but since it is my main language , it really does make sense in my mind.

All the terms are explained on the internet. You could have checked. English isn't queerer than any other language. Each language has its own strange expressions.

English is an odd language for sure. Its a melting pot of many cultures.

English is a strange language sometimes

haha, in my childhood i used ti think hotdogs are made of dogs meat, really no idea what that was..

The English language is very weird.

Actually, in the case of hamburgers and hot dogs, it's German and not English that is the source of the "weirdness." Hamburgers are named for Hamburg steaks, which are named for the German city. "Burger" is a backformation from "hamburger." It's only because of this word that we even think to ask if there is ham in a hamburger. Frankfurter and wiener are both German names for hot dogs. And we call sausages of this type "dogs" because dog meat was commonly eaten in Germany once, and I guess people who preferred not to consume dog meat were suspicious of it being hidden in sausages. The "corn" in corned beef is the only non-German item on your list. It comes very simply from the kernels, or "corns" of coarse salt that are used to cure the beef. So yes, there are corns (not corn as in maize) in corned beef.
