do people in your area call dances balls? why is it called a ball? what is the etymology of the word? I dance at a dance. I don't ball at a dance. Well, maybe sometimes. But that's not the reason I got invited.
Also, people here call water foutains "da bubblah." Why is it a bubbler? It doesn't bubble. It resembles a fountain more than bubbles. So why do they call it "da bubblah?" |

Where I live, we call a dance when people don't dress up, they just go with their regular clothes on; we call a ball when everyone is dressed formal. I've heard people call dances balls, but I guess different places call things different names.
