Regionalism's

[Thorn]

Also interesting that some of the words that are common in the Boston area area also common in the Milwaukee area (and no where else!) For example, Bubbler for drinking fountain and Jimmies for the sprinkles on a doughnut.

Huh, who knew that Bubbler was a trademarked name! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubbler

I was surprised to see bubbler appear from someone outside of Wisconsin. But, I guess it doesn't surprise me that, were it a trademark, that it would belong to Kohler since I've always associated it as a Wisconsin-ism.

But, what does one call a doughnut with jimmies if you don't use the term jimmies?
