How Do You Spell PO'BOY?
The word "po'boy", referring to a type of sandwich typically filled with fried seafood or roast beef, is spelled with an apostrophe between the "p" and "o" to indicate the omission of the letter "o" in the word "poor". This reflects the sandwich's origin as a low-cost meal for workers in New Orleans in the 1920s. The phonetic transcription for "po'boy" is /poʊ.bɔɪ/.
