[NewMusic] "sausage"

[Brady Sharp]

It's funny people that people that don't know what it refers to
continue to use it.  I suppose that's how meanings evolve and phrases
work their way into dialects.  "Slinging Sausages" will be the next
hip phrase..

It's related to promoting gigs/yourself on this list instead of using
the newmus-events-list, and stemmed from comments about diminuitive
sausages served at a certain gig that was translated as a Freudian
symbol.

a classic example:

from: Brady Sharp (bradysharp at gmail.com)
to: newmus at mills.edu

I love their sausage.

... followed by a signature of an entire discography and a complete
years' calendar of upcoming gigs, which far eclipses the rather
meaningless post.

There... now I've further perpetuated it by explaining it, so I'll stop!
