Sconnies, whats the deal

[BobWildLoyalist]

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?

haha, seriously?

[BobWildLoyalist]

Seriously

Also, I like my groceries in plastic bags, not begs.

Epic first post

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?

[shiloh26]

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.

Also, what's the deal with the motorized scooters? People everywhere are riding in those rascal things.

Homeless people bathe in water fountains.


We drink out of bubblers.

Is this some way of feeling better about the most recent NFC Championship?

[BubbaWilliams]

Are people avoiding the scooter question? It's not that tough to walk

Hippies smoke bubblers. People drink out of water fountains

[g0lden3agle]

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

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.

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

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?
