   Bangers, or more arcanely 'snorkers'.   
      
   "Snorkers is a British English colloquialism for sausages. It may have a   
   Royal Navy slang origin. The term is probably derived from an earlier   
   dialect term for a young pig: Wright's 19th-century English Dialect   
   Dictionary notes snorker as a widespread word for a piglet, related to   
   the word snork, to grunt or snore" -
