Philadelphian word for a sub sandwhich. Word likely has its origins from "Hog Island", which was an island intersecting the Delaware and Schuylkyl Rivers. The Irish and Italian people who lived there during the early 20th century where known as "Hog Islanders." In addition, they referred to one another many times as "Hogans" during their lunchbreaks. Eventually, the unique sandwhiches the men ate (they where large loaves of Philadelphian bread filled with meats--a precurser to the moder sub/hoagie) simply became known as "hoggies." Sometime by the end of WWII, the word transformed into its modern pronunciation and spelling: "hoagie."

John: You want to get some sandwhiches at Subway?

Friend: Nah. They're not real hoagies. I'd rather go somewhere else.

Hollie

The best girl ever! She's amazing, beautiful (on the inside and outside) but doesn't see it. The best friend you could ever have. She's intelligent, but no snob about it. She listens, and adds her opinion and advice when you need it. She knows how to snap you back into reality, while letting you still dream big. She herself is a dreamer, and occasionally needs someone to snap her back into reality. She's loving and gentle. if she needs to be she'll act rude, but really doesn't like to. You'll always love a Hollie; she's trustworthy and perfect. Guys can't help but fall for her.

"That girl is soooooo perfect! So sweet, smart, beautiful; she's just perfect! What's her name, man?"

"That's Hollie."

"Oh, that makes more sense; she's a Hollie."
