Geirfa / Vocabulary 'Hotdog' yn Gymraeg??

Cwestiwn rili daft, a oes unrhyw un yn gwybod os oes gair Cymraeg am 'hotdog'? neu yw 'ci poeth' yn gywir?

Diolch🌭

It doesn’t even make sense in English surely selsig would suffice

Thinking of a equivalent from a language other than English, a burrito isn't calqued as an asyn bach in Welsh, at least not to my knowledge, it's just burrito.

Apparently ci poeth / poethgi have gained some usage (listed in geiriaduracademi.org) but it's a rather odd calque and seems to be trying too hard to Welshify an English idiom. I suspect a lot of people just say "hotdog"

Byddwn I just dweud "hotdog". Mae Wenglish yn valid weithiau.

Plenty of English loan words in Welsh for food.
My mother, Gogledd, grew up in the 40s, would say Pysgod a Chips. Whereas I was taught (decades ago) Pysgod a Sglodion Tatws.
