Words for hot dogs
 
It seems there are a lot of different words for hot dogs. Which regions use which words. I tknow there are perritos calientes and salchinchas among others.

"Salchichas" (cocked -and not dried- sausages) is what goes inside.

"Hot dogs" are "panchos" in Argentina.

En México se dice "hot-dog" (pronounced "jotdog"). :D

And I agree with Alec, "salchichas" are the meat inside.
The bread is called "media noche" ("medias noches" in plural). Don't ask me why, I have no idea. ;)

En Colombia se llaman "perros calientes". Traducción literal.

Right. Like "Franks" in English.

The usual way to refer to "hot dogs" in Spain is: Perrito Caliente, or directly, HOT DOG.

However, some people refer to them as "Chuchos" or "Chuchos calientes". You should take into account that "chucho" is a despective word for dog. Usually a dog with no pedigree would be a "chucho". A street dog is always a "chucho".

We know it as 'quiltro'.

Quiltro is a common word in Chile and Bolivia to denote street dogs, and mixed-breed dogs. (wkpd)

Is it also a personal name? I heard someone call someone "Chucho". Or were they being disrespectful or something?

"Chucho" is the familiar form of the name "Jesús". It's not disrespectful.

Bueno. Nombres familiares en castellano son divertidos. ¿La gente dice "Chucho" por aún Jesús Cristo, o no?
