The spigot thing freaked me out for quite some time when I moved up there. My roommate said it like 25 times before I finally went "what the fuck is a spigot?!?"
Ooooh okay. We had a teeter totter in our backyard, or something we called a teeter totter. It was this... swing type thing that had 2 seats and swang back and forth. Not a see-saw.
OOOOOH FROM WIKIPEDIA: A "teeter-totter" may also refer to a two-person swing on a swing set, on which two children sit facing each other and the teeter-totter swings back and forth in a pendulum motion.
No this was a swing that just sat one person on each side facing each other. I can't find a picture of it to save my life! Oh, google, you have failed me!
I've never heard any PA people call it a spigot. LOL. Always a water fountain!
LMAO, that reminds me of the time when college friends from Massachusetts kept saying they liked jimmies on their ice cream, I was like "what the hell are jimmies??"

Spigot is a VERY regional-to-PA thing.
