So, which is it: po-boy or poor boy?

It’s poor boy. And you know why? If we’re going to be real and go back to the beginning and honor the streetcar conductors that went on strike [in 1929] and didn’t have much to eat, then it’s poor boy. They made up a poor boy sandwich for the poor boys. That’s how it got the name: ‘What are we going to feed the poor boys?’

What is the origin of the name?
