Water fountain or drinking fountain. Is there another term I am not aware of?

Psh. It's a bubbler.
you snooze, you lose
well I have snozzed and lost
I'm pushing through
I'll disregard the cost
I hear the bells
so fascinating and
I'll slug it out
I'm sick of waiting
and I can
hear the bells are
ringing joyful and triumphant

Water Fountain. Since I'm from Philly, it is more like "Wooder" Fountain.

I can get down with drinking fountain.

Bubbler gets a big thumbs down.

No way. This is not seriously a word people use for this.

Drinking fountain.
I used to hate gravity because it would not let me fly. Now I realize it is gravity that lets me stand.

IT'S A BUBBLER.... If you're from certain parts of the U.S., like Wisconsin. Like, it's not "cola", it's "soda."

Well, Kelly calls it a bubbler and she's from near Boston. So, it takes a big jump from Boston to Wisconsin...skipping NY where I've never heard it called that. Here it's a water fountain.

Some places on the east coast, some of the midwest, and some of the south. No particular pattern.

Water fountain.

I kinda thought this was a joke thread, because it seemed like this and the colored pencils should be in the same thread.

And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears.
Get over your hill and see what you find there,
With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair.

I am amused every time a Washingtonian says "pop." My home county is "soda" but I say "coke," but this is probably a function of the fact in my family, other sodas were rarely consumed.

As for this thread, I say "drinking fountain."
So don't go worrying about me
It's not like I think about you constantly
So maybe I do, but that shouldn't affect
Your life anymore
