Sounds like its more of a northeast / new england thing. Anyone know how it started?

It is like the term for a submarine sandwich, it changes to where ever you go, grinder, torpedo, hoagie, poor boy or a hero, some one must have coined the term like other slang it catches on and people use that term instead of the real name.
Here in Canada when you go to a restaurant and want a drink, they ask what kind of Pop or Soft Drink you want, you Americans generalized it with the word "Soda"..
