    Hogie, Sub, Wedge or Grinder

    The pickle thread reminded me about a slang issue when I moved here to Michigan from NY.

    When you order a sandwich like the kind at subway from a deli in your area what do the call it?

    I always thought Wedge was the proper term. Besides the names I listed are ther any others you use in your region?

    What is the most common that people use nationwide?

          Well, here in upstate NY it's a "sub".. And any soda-pop style carbonated drink is a "soda"..

          You've read it, you can't unread it.

                      shopping cart is correct , buggy is very gay, might even be British.

                          big difference between Canadians and Americans is 'candy bar' versus 'chocolate bar'.

                          also Canadians refer to a particular year/grade in school like 'I failed Grade 4 twice' - American says 'I failed the fourth grade twice'.

                                  Now I know you don't know what your talking about. Mid westerners and hick Canadians call it pop. LA NYC and educated individuals call it SODA.

                                      You're from Michigan? It's pop in Michigan. You must be a self hating MidWesterner.

                                              I grew up 20 miles NE of NYC. I moved to michigan 3 years ago when Karups asked me to relocate to run the office. I totaly hate Michigan mainly because how slow everyone is and the dumb names they use for things like SODA.

                                                      here's another one not based on regions but based on hicktown versus city.

                                                      i grew up in a small town, 45,000, people when they would go to the movies would say 'Hey we're going to the show Saturday night wanna come?'. My sister still says it and I've been telling her for 25 years she sounds like a farmer.

                                                                              Shopping carts:

                                                                              One that gets me that also seems regional.

                                                                              Spaghetti sauce. Some places it is meat sauce, some places just sauce, some places its gravy. Then the various italian names of course.
