It's on the site. Blue means you're cold and red means you're warm.

Lately I've been hearing a lot of obnoxious radio commercials where people refer to champagne as "bubbly". Like, as a noun. They don't call it champagne. They call it "bubbly". Is this some sort of idiotic thing that people say up here in the pacific Northwest and I've just never heard it before, or is it understandable to be irritated?

Actually it's been called that all over for as long as I've been alive

Any sparkling wine that is not made in the Champagne region of France usually does not bear the name "Champagne." Champagne and other sparkling wines have bubbles, and bubbles are fun so they call it "bubbly."

One of my most was Honolulu which I find pretty hilarious because is there a place more different to Scotland than Hawaii?

I got San Jose, Honolulu and Providence for most similar, so a bit all over the place, probably because I'm from a non-english speaking country.

That's weird, I got the NY/NJ areas. Different influences, I guess.
