Water fountain
The water fountain is we all get that refreshing cold water and it is used for drinking or decoration. In the Midwestern and Western states, it is actually called the water fountain, while it is known in the South as the drinking fountain.
But when you head towards Wisconsin and Rhode Island, you will be amazed at the name they gave to it, and it is the “bubbler”.
Tennis Shoes
Those exercising shoes are mostly known as “tennis shoes” throughout the whole country, but the New Englanders call them “sneakers”, which is a little confusing but makes sense at the same time.
Think about it; they are probably doing less exercising and more “sneaking”. Also when you hear someone say it, it could remind you of that delicious chocolate bar, snickers, that will distract you from the actual workout. Oh, so many theories!
The big road on which you drive fast
That long, big road that you take every morning on your way to work is known in most states as “Highways” or “interstates”.
But if you ever went to the West Coast- California to be exact- you will have to call them “freeways” due to the high-speed limits and the open road. Most importantly, just make sure you are being safe while driving on it and on any road.
The patch of grass between the road and the sidewalk
In most states, that patch doesn’t really have a name, but there are some people who give it wild names, which is absolutely entertaining. According to the findings of Golden and Vaux, the Northeast states call it “Bern”, and those living around the Great Lakes region know it as “terrace”.
