Grinder is just a hot hoagie. Its not something you call a hoagie its a completely different thing. And no one calls it a hero unless they're losers.
 
Hoagie is the correct term for the inferior sandwich you buy if cheesesteaks are unavailable.

And no points for guessing where I grew up. :p

Actually, most people around here call both hot and cold versions "grinders". "Subs" is also used for both, but no-one calls it a "hoagie" where I'm from.

I love how were having serious debates on the terms of sandwhiches. BUT ITS A SUB!!!
 
Italians working at the World War I shipyard in Philadelphia, known as Hog Island where emergency shipping was produced for the war effort, introduced the sandwich, by putting various meat, cheese, and lettuce between two slices of bread. This became known as the 'Hog Island' sandwich; hence, the 'hoagie'."

Philadelphians invented it. We call it a hoagie. IT'S A HOAGIE.
