In Madison, there's a network of ATMs called Tyme. So people just used the word 'Tyme' (pronounced 'time') instead of ATM.
I do remember being abroad with some people from Penn who called it a "MAC machine" for the same reason, though since Jesse didn't mention that too perhaps it's a spottily used term.

My friend in Philly does this. I had NO idea what she was talking about at first. She picked it up when she moved there, because she sure as hell didn't call it that before.
I've seen ATMs labelled MAC, but I hadn't thought to call them that. And I don't know where I've seen that. I have occasionally called them cash machines. I don't think that was an acronym for anything.
Yay, glitter!
Hmph. Why do quizzes just ignore the whole western half of the country?
We do so have accents!
I like those measuring cups, but my measuring cups nest in one another, so I'm not sure there's a total loss of space taken up...
I have 2 french presses, after breaking 3 of them. And I don't even drink coffee, but as a host I feel obligated to have some way to make coffee for guests.
My dad, bless his soul, insisted on buying a Mr. Coffee the last time he visited, entirely missing the point that my house is 700 square feet and short on closets. I was so pissed off.

Totally!

Consuela, I think our dad's are twins. My dad has purchased the following for me: full sized mop, 2 bags of cleaning sprays, and a saw.
We did always call them MAC machines, verbed it, etc., and I have a friend now (who went to a different school in Philly), who still calls it the MAC. I actually just refrained from sharing my every life experience for once.

Heh. That's why we have a french press too.
