Because the town that truly made the burger what it is today, back in the 15th century was Hamburg, Germany.

Hamburg => hamburger, makes sense to me. Now why it's called a hotdog constantly boggles my mind.

Why would we? They're the ones that invented it, they should get credit. Besides, in some places people in the U.S. call them grease packs, which just sounds gross.

Heh, that would be the American English way. But if you like, I'll see what I can do to fix it. Hack dictionary.com or something...
