Is it a hoagie or......
Is it a hoagie, submarine sandwich, hero, grinder, Po' Boy or Zepplin?
It's a hoagie to me!

I have heard them called subs, Hoagie, Hero sandwiches, po' boy and various other names. Around here they call them subs usually, as well as po' boys. In NJ where my husband is from they are called hoagies.
I had never heard the name Zepplin till now but over the years have heard all the other names and being from Jersey Hoagie is the one I call them even tho' here they call them Subs except at WaWa and it is Hoagie of course

I remember when Pizza Hut over here used to make submarines back in the very early '80's not any more though we just have the SubWays here now apart from some other snack bars
In the northern part of NJ where I grew up, they were known as "hero sandwiches" or "sub sandwiches."
Then I went to college in Northeast PA, and it was "hoagies." I hated that name, hated to have to use it. And what do you know--I wound up living in southern NJ, near Philly, so as Kathymac mentioned, they are "hoagies" here.
I give up. They're "hoagies." After 17 years, I know when I'm beat.
But I disagree with you, Kathymac. The best ones are in northern NJ. The bread there is MUCH better; crusty on the outside, chewy on the inside. Don't forget the EXTRA oil and vinegar. I like my hoagie/hero/sub to be drippy!
