What does HOAGY mean in Scrabble?
noun
North Americaninformal
A variant spelling of hoagie, a large sandwich made from a long roll filled with meats, cheese and vegetables.
A hoagy is the same long sandwich known in most of the United States as a hoagie or, in other regions, as a submarine, hero or grinder, built from a split roll packed with layers of cold cuts, cheese, lettuce and tomato. The name is closely associated with Philadelphia, where the sandwich became a local speciality sold from corner delis and lunch counters. Hoagy is simply an alternative way of spelling the more common hoagie, and both forms describe exactly the same food rather than two different dishes. Word lists that record everyday spelling variants include hoagy alongside the standard hoagie.
