It is used in Wisconsin (especially Milwaukee and surrounding areas), Rhode Island, and parts of Massachusetts to describe a drinking fountain. People typically say "Can I get a drink from the bubbler?" or "The bubbler's over by the gym." The term originated in the late 19th century from the Kohler Water Works company in Wisconsin, which manufactured a drinking fountain called "The Bubbler," and the brand name became genericized, remaining a strong regional marker, especially in the Upper Midwest.
