As a Marquette alum and IL resident i found sconnies to be very strange. calling pop "soda", water fountain's "bubblers", and Friday fish fires. They are also extremely friendly but I have no problem with that. did someone dose the drinking water in Wisco or what? Why are sconnies so different from FIP's?

Uh, what is a FIP?
FIB I am familiar with, but a FIP? Is bastard so offensive it had to be replaced by person/people?

That was an epic first post. I also like my fish fried, never fired, I prefer "FIB" to "FIP" (F*ing Illinois Person? I guess its gender neutral, but we aren't exactly aiming for politically correct on the term anyway), and I guess I'm just happy that you have no problem with friendly people. I wont defend bubbler.

I'm surprised you weren't confused about how you were living in "Muh-waukee" instead of "Milwaukee" when you came to MU as well.

Homeless people bathe in water fountains.

We drink out of bubblers.

Hippies smoke bubblers. People drink out of water fountains

I personally say "drinking fountain", maybe sometimes "water fountain". No idea what there is about drinking/water fountains that involves bubbles.

reinko · « **Reply #20 on:** March 04, 2011, 03:22:13 PM »

Ding Dong DJO. People from WI, don't do the Dells. Folks from Wisco, go Up North. Also, I believe the term bubbler came from a company named Bubbler, that manufactured water fountains. And people ride scooters in Wisco, because we have an epic amount of the morbidly obese. I saw a 14 year old, 400 lb. Kid on one of those once.

reinko · « **Reply #21 on:** March 04, 2011, 03:24:53 PM »

Bubbler origin, I was close. Kohler trademarked the term back in 1890's.

JWags85 · « **Reply #22 on:** March 04, 2011, 04:15:42 PM »

Bubbler is the one word growing up in Wisconsin and then going to college out of state I always found to be pretty unique to WI. Soda however isn't. I still hate the word "pop". What do you call a vodka with soda water? A vodka pop?
