I think I need a drink from the bubbler.

With few exceptions, I qualify as a bona fide Southerner!

Thanks for this post, Linda!
Great article!! And yes, like Laurie - I'm a bonafide Southerner! I say "Cra-awwn" for "Crayon....." and pa-jammahas" for Pajamas.....

I was in a church in Massachusetts this past weekend when a lady told me she was looking for the "bubbler" and I knew what she was talking about. Otherwise I would have thought she was looking for a fountain.
Here's the link to the dialect survey results map.

"Do you want a coke?"
"Sure, what do you have?"
"We have Pepsi, RC, 7-Up, and Mountain Dew."
"I'll have a 7-Up."
And my Yankee friends all just sit there dumbfounded wondering why no one is drinking Coke.
