Drinking Fountain vs. Bubbler

[MrsDM]

Which do you call it?!

Me, it shouldn't be any surprise - I call it a bubbler, always have, always will! :)

[CaseyK37]

I call it a drinking fountain. I have never heard it called a bubbler! I googled it and it said it was "Wisconsin talk". :rofl: Strange that we are so close but our terms for things are so different.

LMAO! Oh and here I thought for sure when I saw you replied you'd have my back on the "bubbler"!! LOL That is so funny!

Haha!! I like the term bubbler! Maybe I will have to start using it... "Could you point me in the direction of the bubbler?" I would sound so sophisticated.

I've also never heard of the word bubbler (except, I think, in a Facebook group that someone joined). It is interesting that we use a lot of the same words in WI and MN, but that one is different.

I definitely call it a drinking fountain. Never heard "bubbler" before.

Seriously...I think people would look at you and say "WTF!" LOL

I have never heard anyone call it a bubbler! It's cute though, I like it!

[KMS]

How funny, I've never heard of the term "bubbler" either! I call it a water fountain. Not nearly as fun. :p

[Lids4u2]

Bubbler all day long! I <3 WI! :)

[WBandMe]

I've always called it a drinking fountain or a water fountain. But I grew up mere minutes from Wisconsin, so I have had the misfortune of hearing someone say bubbler! ;) Just teasing. (While we're at it though, Jeanne, do youi call an ATM a time machine?)

[Kfancii]

It is a water fountain here in Texas. Just like a "Coke" can be any flavor soft drink-doesn't matter what kind it is, it is a coke.

I have family in WI so I knew what a bubbler was, but when my ex MIL told me one night that "the cat was on the davenport." I had no idea what she was talking about even when I saw the cat sleeping on the couch! :p

LOL! I call it an ATM machine, so do all my friends. Some older adults call it a time machine.

We call it a water fountain.

I have heard the term bubbler but I call it a drinking fountain. Or the one in my office that has the water jug on top I call a water cooler.

[FFC]

I've never heard the term "bubbler" before!! How cute is that! LOL

Drinking fountain here in Cali too ;)

[jennybaby]

I never heard bubbler! So CUTE.

I call it a Water Fountain so I put "other." I never have called it Drinking Fountain.

Hehe, I grew up hearing the word davenport. My grandma says it, and my friend's grandma says it, too. I always just assumed it was a word they used "back then."

We usually say water fountain, but at least I knew what a drinking fountain was ;)

[amisteratwisterandme]

Here a bubbler is the head on a sprinkler so could you imagine the looks I would get if I said I was thirsty and looking for a bubbler? :confused:

[Thalia_themuse]

Here in schools we call them bubblers, so I don't think we'd call them anything else!!!

(in Australia I mean)
