(US, historical) A frankfurter.

Nearby, a boy in a tweed reefer sold frankfurters (though they couldn’t, of course, be called that any longer). “Liberty sausages!” cried the boy from his cart.
Origin: Coined during wartime because of antipathy toward the Germans and their language; see liberty cabbage. Origin information sourced from Wiktionary contributors (CC BY-SA 4.0).
