He has been calling me it in private professional settings and I am starting to get concerned as I have previously never been called "little sausage" by anyone else in my family

I've known my uncle since I was born really. He calls me it often

If he's used it privately, and this has continued to work. I'd just speak to him and say you're a bit uncomfortable about it in a work setting. If there are other employees you could say that you feel a bit singled out and your colleagues might think you've getting different treatment.

If he's recently started using it, I'd just politely ask him not to use it as it's a bit much.

Why bother? they don't want help. - it's almost certainly made up, the way the story keeps progressing in an unlikely fashion should be a clue, not to mention they're now claiming its nice that everyone gets called it, despite saying they don't know what it means...

so yea, sounds made up.
