I believe that "sub" is centered on New York and New Jersey -- as in
"Tastee Sub Shop", in Edison, NJ, visited by several presidents.

Isn't "submarine" the usual word in Pittsburgh too?

In NYC and surrounding areas it's "Hero". Other nomenclature is
typical for other parts of NYS.

Here's the demographic distribution of all the related terms.

"Sub" is the national word with no geographical limitations.

Looks like we have the market cornered on the term "Bomber" here in
Austin.

Is hero derived from gyro, which is iiuc pronounced in Greek very much
liike hero in English?

Gyro refers to lamb (usually) rotating on a spit in front of or above
the fire, as in gyrate. .

Sub is also common in RI westward to Groton-New London, Ct and beyond.

Groton is the home of General Dynamics Electric Boat Division where for
generations they built, you guessed it, submarines. It was the major
employer in the area.

It's difficult for me to think of a term being "centered" in any area
when there are 43,800 Subway franchise locations in 109 different
countries and are part of a company that does national advertising in
the US. Their product is a "sub".

I was thinking that, too, Tony. Sub is probably the most common term
here in central Kentucky.

In Kansas City a grinder is an Italian roll stuffed with cheese
and/or sausage or meatballs plus some nice sauce. It's hollowed
out, stuffed, and toasted. Delicious. It was popularized by a
restaurant called Mario's but others still serve a version of it
as well. I was surprised when I first came across a sub called
a grinder.

The overstuffed compost sandwiches are called hoagies or of
course subs around here IME. I agree that the Subway brand has
changed the language through market saturation.

Your local community has been the death knell of anything not grossly
over-sauced with sweet tomato castsup barf and a pariah of real BBQ - in
many ways the antithesis of real smoked meats and the religion of true
dry rub.

May you some day have fruit wood trees that do not defile you.

Or at least the ability not to drown your charred ends in whatever
saucepan debility defines the day.

I have a wall full of awards, lots of prize money, and I enjoy
the camaraderie, while you can only sling shit, my lonely bitch.
And there's more quality dry rub in the house right now that you
will ever own in your pathetic lifetime.

I compete, sometimes I win, and I always enjoy the food and good
company, while all you can do is sit in filth and stalk people
who are better than you. That's who you are.
Ahhhhhhhhhhahahaaaaaaaaaa.....

Or at least the ability not to drown your charred ends in

I don't sauce burnt ends, my clueless wannabe-stalker bitch.

Go lay down somewhere.

But all those were opened decades after "sub" meant sandwich. And
more importantly, pft is talking about sub, the sandwich, which has imo
nothing to do with "subway".

Indianapolis had for a long time Sam's Subway, which was either supposed
to be reminiscent of the NYC subway or it was called that because it was
a half-flight down from the sidewalk, I don't know which.

Assuming the word was began and was once centered in NY and NJ, unless
the word stops being used there, it seems to me the center does not
change.
