Cripes! This is great; now just need to change the traffic lights to "stop n go lights" and that grocery store to a "Piggly Wiggly", and we Wisconsinites will be all set. Thanks for making my day.
Southerner here, not a term we use in these parts, but working customer service for a very large retail company led to me having to learn this one. I did kinda scratch my head the first time I played FO4, because, well "that's not what they call them up there..."
Will be downloading! Nice to incorporate a little bit of outside culture (demographically speaking only, of course) into my own!
it's sad how bethesda failed to implement such an important aspect of the greater boston area. Thank you for fixing such a grievous oversight on their part.
No, seriously, how did they miss that? almost everywhere in the New England states refer to them as bubblers.
Hmmm... Strange... I was born and raised in the Boston area and then lived there for over 30 years before moving the California and I never ever heard them referred to as bubblers... Always water fountains.... Never even heard the term bubblers before....
Now the T I fully understand and am familiar with....
Yeah, I was also born and raised in Boston. I've never once heard anyone call them Bubblers.
The T, yeah, I know that one though. It's weird traveling Boston in FO4 and going: "OH HEY, IT'S THAT PLACE!" I think it's even weirder to walk around your own neighborhood. : |
I've lived in Victoria my whole life and never heard a single person say 'Bubbler'; everyone calls them 'drinking fountains/taps' or 'water fountains/taps', or sometimes just 'tap'.
That's because Victorians and in particular Melbournenites are mostly insecure SJWS desperate to fit in what they see on tv and the internet the most : Californian Americans. I bet you called the tuckshop "canteen" as well. It's bloody Unaustralian.
I was going to say, bubblers is a mid-western term. I think it was the name of a brand of water fountain and like "Xerox" the namesake became the thing people called it.
But where I'm from on the East Coast, we call them water fountains xD

I was really hoping they'd call the T, well, "the T," but no dice.

@Royhr: Not for nothin', but you guys from Boston always were a bit we'ahd . :-p
Downloaded on general principle. Now I'm off to get an Italian grinder and a coffee cabinet (no small feet given that I now reside in Texas).
