A large sandwich\sub is literally known as a "hero" sandwich. Why would you try to take that perfection away to go for "gyro" , that is neither pronounced the same, or is a similar sandwich?
You should know, Cole, that everyone loves a pedant.
Plus gyro DOES rhyme with hero
Pure poetry.
Pyrotry?
Gyro does, but gyro doesn't.
adjust nerd glasses technically speaking...the greek word gyro is pronounced "eeer-o" so its not that far off from "here-o"
book 'im lou. one count of bein' a bear, one count of bein' accessory to bein' a bear
.......go google Greek Gyro, then go find your closest Greek restaurant and educate your taste buds. Tust. They will be happy.
Oh, don't get me wrong. I love eating them. But the guy threw a hero sandwich.
Ah my bad! I misunderstood your comment
