When we were selling them as a fundraiser for school, it was called the "Hoagie Sale." (It was a yearly event.) I don't think I've ever used "submarine."
Hmm. Meatball sub. Meatball hero. Italian sub. Italian hero. Eggplant sub. Eggplant hero. Turkey sub. Turkey hero. "Meatball hero" and "Italian hero" sound more right to me, but it's definitely "turkey sub," not "turkey hero." Eggplant can go either way.
The kind you get for parties is definitely a "six-foot hero," though. I can't get that phrase to sound right to me with any word other than "hero."
Navy beans, navy beans, meatball sandwich....

I didn't encounter the word hoagie until the Cosby show. Up until then, it was subs. Hero, grinder, etc? Those were mostly learned in the Internet age, though I may have come across them in books and figured them some similar-but-not-quite animal.
Hey, what's in caeser salad dressing that would make me flush/light face sweat while eating it? And only while eating it? The vineagar, maybe? It's so weird.
Is it bought dressing? Maybe msg or something weird?
I just had birthday cake (not mine; for all the january b-days).
There was lots and lots of sugar, and I washed it down with a diet coke.
Fear me.
My birthday is in early Feb if you want to work ahead, Lee.
It's Ken's Steakhouse Lite. Most caesar's do this. No msg, which make my cheekbones feel like they are floating, totally different thing.
Someone go peel Lee off the ceiling.
Hmm. Wikipedia says that the horse/hoarse split in the Boston accent is "rapidly fading out of currency." (The horse/hoarse split is the thing where four and store are pronounced as fo-ah and sto-ah, sort of.) Is it really? I know that most of my relatives in my mom's generation pronounce it that way, but I'm not sure how many of the younger ones do. (I know that my cousin who's just about my age says fo-ah for four, but I don't really talk to most of my other younger cousins that often.)
