po boy.

A Po Boy.

In case you don't know it's a type of sandwich.  Actually, it's just a sandwich with a different name.  Nick and I ordered these for dinner last night.  Do you know how ridiculous it sounds to order a "po boy" when you care about diction?

Say it.  Outloud.  Now.

Po Boy.

Oh sure, you can say it if you add a southern twang, but will the southern waitress coin you a fool when you use non regional dialect to say "I would like a" and then pop in a twangy drawl with "po boy?"  I personally had to preface my order with "I am painfully not southern so I would like this- and I can't say it correctly" while pointing to which po boy I wanted.
