Ummm, nope.
Date: 2008-04-05 12:14 pm (UTC)Hoagie is a corruption of "Hog Islander", from Hog Island (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hog_Island,_Philadelphia,_Pennsylvania), a former island that is now part of the Philadelphia International Airport, where they were first sold.
Hog Island still lives on as the Hog Island New Years Association (http://www.geocities.com/hog2116/index.html), one of the units of the famous Philadelphia Mummers Day Parade.
Here is another take on how the term hoagie got started, from Wikipedia:
One legend of the origin of the Hoagie sandwich is tied to Hog Island. Italian-American workers on the island were known as "Hoggies" and brought antipasto sandwiches for their lunch; these sandwiches evolved into Philadelphia's well-known Hoagies. The historical truth of this story is disputed.
WHOA!!! O.O
