Ordering a 'Hogie' will get you a few looks outside of New England, I think it is. Or is 'Hogie' more of a New York word? 'Hogie', 'Grinder', 'Sub'... all the same damn thing.

Hoagie is a Philly expression, as RacinReaver pointed out. New Yorkers will order a
Hero as opposed to a sub or a grinder. I've hated that name since I got here, and always feel like my Bostonian roots are slowly slipping away when I order one.
One thing I picked up on here in NYC is that people wait
on line instead of waiting
in line. That confused me working in a retail environment where they had computers with internet access all over the store. My first few days there, customers would say "where do I go to wait on line?" and I'd stare at them blankly till I figured out what they were trying to say.
Here's a question. Do they still call hamburgers "Steamed Hams" in upstate NY?
