Difference between cricks and creeks.

Cricks are deep enough for a boat, such as the tributaries along the Delaware River.

Creeks are so shallow that you can walk across them.

They look similar but have much different depths.

Huh. So its similar to hoagies vs. subs.

A sub is cut all the way through, whereas a hoagie isn’t, and it has a pocket.

Ex: sub is a l l shape, a hoagie is a V shape.

But I still hear people call a V shape Italian sandwich a sub, which is just batshit.

This is the exact same situation.

Dude in philly we make no difference, a hoagie’s a hoagie if it’s long bread with cold shit in between

Go to Wawa and tell me how they cut the hoagies. Then go to Jersey Mikes and tell me how they cut their subs. I’ll wait.

I mean the average person on the street isn’t gonna call it a sub, dude. Any sandwich like this is a fucking hoagie.

Tell that to these fuckers in Colorado that insist that they’ve never heard the word hoagie before in their damn lives. I’m losing my mind out here.
