I’m a teacher from Massachusetts, and was teaching in a first grade classroom in Arizona. One of the tiny kids asked me if they could go get a water, but the water vending machine they usually use was out of service, so I told them that, and instructed them to just go to the bubbler.
They came back crying a few minutes later because they didn’t know what a “bubbler” was and couldn’t find it.
That was when I realized they are called something different everywhere else.
