wurst

Bavarian meat tube

Wurst is the German word for sausage, appearing in English mainly as part of compound names for German-style sausages: bratwurst, knockwurst, liverwurst, weisswurst.

Outside these compounds, wurst appears mostly in the expression the wurst is yet to come—a pun on "worst."
