Urbandictionary With Gary

sausage fears – a term to describe the actions of straight men who are afraid of showing any physical or emotional bond to the men they are friends with. This is akin to saying “no homo,” and is a result of toxic masculinity and homophobia

“Why is Derek afraid of hugging Jonathan?” “He’s got mad sausage fears, bro.”
