Bubbler was like shooting fish sticks in the freezer. If you call it a bubbler, you're from Wisconsin. My cities were Madison, Rockford, and Milwaukee. :p My dialect similarity map also maps where people from the Upper Midwest migrated to in the late 1800s - early 1900s (except for that weird blob in Texas, no one moves to Texas; that would be stupid).

buuuuuullshit. It was bubbler in boston, it was bubbler in new york. it's always been the bubbler, at least since 1982.

I just did the damn test and apparently i didn't go to college in boston, as i thought i did, but actually in San Jose /CA.

Who grew up with the term, “hose bib” and where did you grow up?
Been a hose bib nearly all my life. Grew up as an USAF brat...traveled a lot, but mostly lived in western Mass and Washington state as a kid...after that...a rolling stone gathers no moss.

At one time I figured I have no accent, but ain't so. Everybody has an accent... unless they're mute.

"grinder" is the CT cheat code. I dated a girl from upstate NY who laughed about how she always knew her customers were from CT when they asked for grinders. The first time someone asked her for a meatball grinder she thought they were asking for the actual meat grinding apparatus.
