I keep hearing "sammich" a lot lately. I just found out that it is in the "urban dictionary". What is this world coming to? ; )
I am seeing whoa spelled woah quite often.
About 30 years ago I was in a semi-urban area with the term Sammiches used on a menu.

I've heard "sammich" as a joke for a while, but I think we can blame Rachel Ray for making it a thing.

Ah, okay thanks for the insight. I've not heard it until recently. Not a fan of Rachel Ray so I wouldn't have known but I'll gladly blame it on her.

I remember John Coffey using the term in The Green Mile (book, not movie).

It's worse, though, so much worse. She kept calling them "sammies" in a desperate attempt to coin a cute term. In fact, she seemed desperate to coin a new term every single time she was on TV. I put that in past tense because I pay no attention to her anymore. Is she still trying to make "Oh my gravy!" happen?

Oh, interesting. I've heard it more often, both verbally and in print, and wasn't exactly sure what made it more common these days. I've occasionally used "sammich" online, it sounds a little more slang to me.

I guess they got tired of standing in that long line!

Heard on the Today Show fashion segment about a coat: "the hood attaches and disattaches".
