We were really hoping wed be able to trace a Native American origin for the word hoagie in celebration of National Hoagie Day today, but we couldnt. We did, however, find these seven variations, some way more dubious-sounding than others. Get yourself a nice fresh hoagie (or, depending on your place of birth, a submarine, a torpedo, a zeppelin, an Italian, a hero, a grinder, a poboy, a wedge, a spuckie, a garibaldi, a blimpie ) and settle in to survey these suggestions. (Note: There is no National Spuckie Day.)
