I have decided to allow freshet to take early retirement. See edited version of initial post, above. I will try to come up with another word but if anyone else has one then by all means go ahead with it.

Double thanks to AW! First, for proposing a game. And second, for withdrawing a word which would not likely work ... and doing so with such grace and style. Well done.

I didn't know the word, but I'd never admit it.
In these parts, where a drinking fountain is a bubbla, chourico is often used instead of kielbasa.

People actually call water fountains after sausages?!?!? (She said, relating chourico to chorizo.) WHY????

'Sorry for the sloppy wording.
I was speaking of two unrelated things.
A bubbla is a Rhode Island drinking fountain.
Chourico is a type of Portuguese sausage.

And please note that you did not change the pronunciation of "polish" just because you capitalized it.

I'd tell you what the car wax did to the furniture wax, but I don't do polish jokes.
