Water fountain or drinking fountain. Never heard of a bubbler…
Wouldn’t it stand to reason that a bubbler… I don’t know… Bubbled?
By the wiki quote, originally, it did.
yeah…uhh…in my family we call those bubble blowing machines bubblers, not drinking fountains. and as for the michigan thing…we don’t talk like northerners. we talk like michiganders…which is different from everything. lol.
You know you live in Michigan if you go to any regional out of state and think people “talk weird”…:yikes: or is it like that for everyone else?
JBot
no…I’m pretty sure its just us michigan people :rolleyes:
I go to regionals in state and think people talk weird. Pronounce those H’s in your words, and its pop, not soda! 
If you want some more crazy New England vocabulary, we call it clicker. :yikes:
Actually, after looking through that Wikipedia article I find that use quite a bit of the Boston slang, even though I don’t have anything that resembles a Boston accent.
Drinking Fountain.
And we all talk funny to someone else from somewhere else!
Water fountain
its pop, not soda!
I call it soda (CT girl!) and my cuz from Boston calls it tonic
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
