A question of vocabulary

[lukevanoort]

I usually call it a water fountain if I refer to it as anything other than "Mmm, cold(ish) water."

I'm rather partial to calling it a converter. It just seems to make more sense to me, since nowadays converters/tuners/clickers/remote controls do a lot more than just tune to a channel, the ones I use don't click, and remote control sounds like they're really far away. That said, I usually say remote, no one would understand what I meant if I said "Pass me the converter."

To be different I call it a Water fountain

I've heard that "Bubbler" is New England slang, but the only time I've ever seen it is at Canobie Lake Park. Everybody I know and I call it a water fountain.
Also, I call soft drinks soda.

I call it a Bubbler, as a noter the er can be replaced by an ah.

This is one of the few things I say that get weird looks at school
