Pan-Pan is an international radio signal that alerts others of a serious emergency on board a plane, boat, or other vehicle, but does not pose an immediate threat to the vehicle or the people on board. While someone may use Mayday when a plane is about to crash or there’s a fire on a ship, Pan-Pan could mean a boat has a slow leak or there’s a problem with a plane’s engine. |

In New England, children drink from "bubblers." The term "bubbler" - more specifically heard in Boston and Providence - is used to describe a drinking fountain. In fact, a North Carolina State University study found that only 18% of people in the US use the term "bubbler" and most of them are in the Northeast. |
