Dave Bauer mentioned that, growing up in Milwaukee, he used the term
"bubbler" for what most (US)Americans call a "water fountain," and did not
know of any other area where "bubbler" is used.  I grew up in Boston using
the same term, and was amazed when nobody in Michigan (where I went to grad
school) knew what that meant.  Thereafter I just assumed that only
Bostonians say "bubbler".  I guess Milwaukee is another pocket of
civilisation in this wasteland.
