Absolutely true. When I moved to Florida in 8th grade I asked where the “bubbla” (spelling to emphasize accent) and everyone looked at me like a confused dog. But fun fact, the Double Bubbler was invented by Halsey W Taylor after he noticed workers getting dysentery from water fountains in the factory.

Don’t you insult RI’s Everyman! His parents must’ve worked really hard to pay for his 50K/year schooling here, how else would he have become a hard-working blue collar ordinary man of the people???

I relocated in 2nd grade and it wasn’t any better. The other one that threw me was the use of “Lav” for rest room. I spent the first few months of second grade thinking my elementary school had a laboratory.
