25/6/13 02:33 (UTC)I'm sure you're right about the spread of "sub" via the Subway chain. My dad was from Philadelphia, so I grew up with the term "hoagie" even here in Portland. I'm not actually familiar with "grinder".
With the Teen Wolf fandom growing so huge on both sides of the Atlantic, I catch inadvertent Briticisms in a lot of fics, even where the writer is very conversant with American. Dead giveaways, to me, are "straight away" for "right away" and "a coffee" for "coffee." Little things.
On the round breakfasty things: pancakes, hotcakes, griddle cakes, flapjacks are the four names I know for them. And for frying pan, the only other term I can even imagine might be griddle, but in my kitchen, a griddle and frying pan are two very different things.
