Etymology

The term 'hotdog' has intriguing origins, with anecdotes tracing back to the early 20th century in the United States. It is often associated with the hustle and bustle of crowded baseball games, and the vendors selling sausages in buns. The word 'hotdog' itself is believed to have emerged from a cartoonist named Tad Dorgan, who, in the 1900s, illustrated a dachshund sausage vendor in New York City. His cartoon depicted the dogs in a bun, and although he never actually wrote the word 'hotdog', the story of him coining the term has persisted. Over time, 'hotdog' entered common vernacular, initially referring to the food, and later evolving into a slang verb form that signified showboating or flamboyant displays. The playful nature of the term parallels the light-hearted and festive atmosphere that foods like hotdogs traditionally symbolize at sporting events, cookouts, and gatherings, leading to the figurative usage of 'hotdogging' as it relates to attention-seeking behaviors.
