Herein, why is it called a Weiner?

Etymology: from the German Wienerwurst, meaning sausage: Wiener comes from a pairing of Wiener (“of Vienna”, “Viennese”) and Wurst (“sausage”). Its pejorative sense comes from the wiener's distinctive penis-like shape. The shortened wiener comes from about 1904; wienie (shorter still) came a little later, in 1911.

Subsequently, question is, is wiener a bad word? Calling a person a wiener (i.e., a wimp or dork) can be considered mildly offensive. Wiener is not to be confused with the common surname Weiner in German, Yiddish, and Jewish; however, this confusion is what leads to many of the misspellings of the word.
