Bubbler

A bubbler is a common term used mainly in the Midwest region of the United States, referring to drinking fountains.
I believe that the slang became popular due to the creation of a drinking fountain that bubbled water out in a different manner than a traditional drinking fountain, although I do not know exactly which way this was.
It may be nothing, but the name Ford comes into my mind when I say this.

Wisconsin citizens' use of this word, and other abnormal slangs led to a study into how Wisconsinites speak in 2005 or 06.

Student- "Can I go get a drink from the bubbler?"
StudentTeacherFromOutOfState- "What? You don't drink bubbles..."
Student- "No, I mean the drinking fountain!"

This is my favorite smoking device mainly because its portable, easy to hide, and it fits in your pocket! This unique smoking device has a small un-detatchable bowl on the top, with a stem sticking out of the side. It workes like a bong, in the fact that it filters the smoke with water, but instead of a removable bowl, it has a carb.(rush hole) These magical objects come in glass,wood,and plastic. Mainly used to smoke weed, these can also be used for tabacco. They range from 10 to 50 dollars
