What do you call this?

**critter crazy** · 02-17-2007, 02:30 PM

I grew up in Virginia and we always called them sofa's.. I still call it a sofa but I know when a person says couch, what it means and am NOT offended!

What in the world is this world coming to when there is a problem with saying sofa/couch! Yes, I take naps on mine so I guess that means it is a couch?

Are you allowed to say potato? Or will it hurt the other veggies' feelings?

Anyway, I call it a sofa

When I was real little, I called it a davenport like my parents did. (We're originally from NW Ohio.)

But when we moved, the other kids made fun of me because they didn't know what it was. Neither did my teacher. I quickly learned to use sofa instead.

Sofa or couch, pretty much interchangable terms.

In our house it's more commonly referred to as Lady's bed.

Well - here sofa means more uh elegant and couch is like a family room more casual.. Like I have 6 couchs, but one sofa.. ... lol..

I use all three of these words, but probably couch and sofa more than davenport.

I call it a couch.
My grandma in upstate New York calls it a davenport.

Who CARES what you call it, what I want to know is whether it answers you back?????

I am kind of funny today, aren't I?

It's a couch

**Suki Wingy** · 02-18-2007, 04:37 PM

that is a couch!

**cassiesmom** · 02-18-2007, 07:04 PM

It's a sofa. Either it's going in the front room (which people not from Chicago call a living room) or the family room (formerly known as the den). Unless it only seats two people, and then it's a love seat. I like it, by the way and I need a new one in the worst way - I will have to find out if there's a Laz-boy store in Chicagoland.
