Come back from the 80's. :p

Uhh, everyone in the Philadelphia area (excluding Norristown) calls it a Hoagie.


I grew up in PA, and there were many places that called it a Hoagie and even places called them grinders. It really depends on where you are and what place you go to. I know I could go back home and still find places that sell them by any name.

Who calls them grinders?

In Philly, we call them "Hoagies". If you go to a deli and dare tell the clerk that you want a "sub" or "hero", that man is liable to punch your fvcking mouth loose.

I've gotten used to calling it a sub since no one around here knows what a hoagie is. We still call it a hoagie at home though.

Horsehockey!!!
I've done it countless times before, and I remain untouched.

I'll be going to the zoo next weekend if weather permits. Give me an address of such a store, and I'll stop by.:p

The OP is interested in what YOU call it, not what the one true correct term is.

From now on, I'm going to call things whatever I want. Like you said, it doesn't matter, right?

There is no right or wrong. It's what you call the thing. Besides, bradruth was saying no matter what you call it, it's the same thing.
