what do you call it?
sorry if a topic like this has been made before, i couldn't find it in the search hahah and this is a really random question anywayanyway, what do you guys call it when somebody takes a drink from your water bottle (or whatever) but they don't let their lips touch the bottle? like they just let it just pour out into their mouth.
i've always found it interesting that majority of NorCal people call it a "waterfall" while most SoCal call it a "birdie"
i'm in socal, so i've ALWAYS thought of it as a birdie and have never heard of waterfall before in my life. until my cousins came down to visit from san jose and my brothers asked them what they call it when someone takes a drink from a bottle without letting it touch their lips. and they called it a waterfall. i was like huh??? who calls it that...
but now that i think about it, birdie doesn't make much sense compared to waterfall...LOL
anyway, what do you guys call it? now i'm curious on if people from other states and countries have a name for it too hahah
edit 6/25/10:hahah yeah, i think birdie is only used in my area (orange county)
i was looking at the urbandictionary definition of birdie:
Used to describe the act of taking a sip from another person's beverage without touching one's lips to the rim of the container.
(It is interesting to note that only native Orange County residents know the true definition of this term)
1. Can I please have a birdie of your water, dude?
