I grew up in the Bronx. We played ball on the stoop, drank egg creams and hung out on the block ... and we called them heroes!

When I was a kid we called them hoagies. Now we call them subs - probably due to Subway coming to town.

While down in Tennessee some of the people I was with were referring to "Borrow pits" and it took a minute to figure out they were talking about the ditch along the road.

Must have been west TN. I heard that for the first time in Mississippi.

Lunch they refer to it as supper/dinner...That always annoyed me...
