Ah, I was going to ask where you were from and if it was a regional thing.

No judging here, I'm from where people call sandwiches "hoagies" and half of us call it "wuder" instead of water. (I am not that half.)

Pittsburgh?

Philly

I'm sorry but a hoagie is more than a sandwich.

Are you high?

A hoagie is just a hoagie because of the roll. Everything else about it is a sandwich... it's just denoting the bread type.

When I lived in CT it was a sub. We all know what people mean when they say it because of the bread connotation, but it's essentially a sandwich.

Do not agree!

So then what do you think makes a hoagie a hoagie? Because I thought it was based on the hoagie roll.

Hoagies are hoagies. Subs are subs. Sandwiches are sandwiches. All are different.

This. Although, where I live I've never used the term hoagie. To me, a hoagie is along the same lines as a sub. I realize there are hoagie rolls, but around here we don't differentiate.

A hoagie is a type of sub. I would say it's a giant ass sub with a bunch more shit on it, but that isn't very specific.

I was born across the bridge from Philly.

Hoagies are sandwiches but not all sandwiches or even most sandwiches are hoagies. So if you go to philly and order a hoagie, don't expect a panini.

Um, you know I'm scared shitless of your siggy, so you can do whatever you want, my dear.

Damn straight.

[malibu]

Pop.

Don't judge. I live in Minnesota. Hot dish, pop, and lutefisk. You get a weird look if you call it anything but pop.

Not to mention a cheesesteak hoagie is different from a cheesesteak. I grew up thinking hoagies and subs were interchangeable, but maybe that's the northern NJ + Philly-area mix that is my parents.

Not to mention.... parking ramps. It took me forever to figure out what people were actually talking about in regular English.

[Deleted]

WTF are parking ramps?

[broc]

Is that the same thing as a Slip Road? I had to switch my GPS from the British voice because it was all, take the slip road, and I was like, you mean the fuckin exit you dumb limey?

This made me giggle so hard and I'm really not sure why.

It's what normal people call a PARKING GARAGE, or, if you're really fancy, a parking structure.

To me, calling those things parking ramps is like calling my house a staircase, but WHATEVER. Ultimately those assholes are forgiven on the grounds that they make a fine hotdish that warms my Nordic blood.

I'm sorry, but this is not possible. You must choose one.

I chose pop for the sake of the poll. When it's in a can I call it pop, but when it is in a glass I call it soda. Can of pop or a glass of soda.

Here is a handy map showing "safe" areas of the country versus places where your ears are more liable to be assaulted by non-soda types



Yellow = correct
Blue = incorrect
Red = stupid
Green = "other" Lord only knows what this could be. Those folks are probably too busy handling snakes to pause for refreshment.

I disagree with your map.

I live in Oregon and nearly everyone calls it "soda".

[partiallysunny]

I don't know if I should be proud or not that I know what a parking ramp is.

Edit: I have no idea what a hotdish is.

Hotdish is the Minnesooooootan word for casserole.

LOL at no one knowing the term parking ramp. I've never heard it called anything else! We also call our highways 'freeways'. I think I was 25 before I realized it's because we don't have toll roads.

Ahh, the differences between the coasts.

[BlackSmoke]

I say pop. Is being incorrect better than being stupid?

[maucat]

Malibu, here in CA we call them freeways as well. But back home in NJ they're parkways, highways, and expressways.

[tmonoxide]

Coke is a brand.

Soft drink is also a good one; it's not regionalized.
