These are two that I never in my life would have thought to be interchangeable. Gravy being "meat squeezins," Tomato sauce being sauce made from Tomatoes.. crazy..
We only called it gravy when meat was cooked it in, otherwise it is tomato sauceThese are two that I never in my life would have thought to be interchangeable. Gravy being "meat squeezins," Tomato sauce being sauce made from Tomatoes.. crazy..

Not up here in bass ackwards Michigan.
For the record, rotaries, roundabouts, and traffic circles aren't necessarily as interchangeable as you may believe.
Also, I want to see "vehicle" added!

If tomatoes are involved, I've never heard it referred to as gravy...These are two that I never in my life would have thought to be interchangeable. Gravy being "meat squeezins," Tomato sauce being sauce made from Tomatoes.. crazy..

I'm from Canada which is mostly Up North I don't know about out west but everybody on the East says pop.
I may be in New Hampshire now but I still refuse refer to a Cola as "soda". If it actually is a soda than fine by me I'll call it as such.

Those traffic circles, I call them: Disasters waiting to happen.
Drive through Liquor Stores: Heaven, why don't we have any?
Ted is also heavy on the Boston dialect.
But I want a recording of Mrs. Driller saying all those words cause she has some great words that make Joe and I laugh.

That's a pretty good one... and I would say an accurate map (at least here)... :love-it:
I would call it a water fountain, and I've heard -drinking fountain...
I worked for a year at a school that was maybe 35 miles off Cape Cod, and I remember the 1st time some kid asked if he could go to "the bubbler"...
me: uh... the what?
kid: the bubbler...
me: wtf is that...?
(I'm paraphrasing... I'm sure I probably said wth is that... )
((or maybe not... who can really remember...
))Anyway, there really is that pocket of people who say bubbler... which I had never heard before... :love-it:

oh it was really weird...
Since most of the kids at that middle-tentiary I mean middle school were clearly going to be the future prison inmates of Massachusetts...
I just assumed the kid was messin' with me... cereal yo... :love-it:
We call it a water fountain, but a bubbler is a type/the part of drinking fountain where the water is forced through a vertical nozzle.
The first time i was out west in Idaho when i was 17 my cousins friend asked me if i wanted some pop, i thought she meant she wanted to give me oral, lol
