Sofa or couch?

[Syringer]

What do you call the thing you sit in that's in your living room?

I usually say couch. My Mother-in-Law says, "davenport" (sp?)

I usually say couch, but I wouldn't punch somebody who said sofa in the face.

Both, usually couch. Not sure why the one poster said it was a "white" term. Do the unwashed masses call it a sofa for the most part?

 

[EGGO]

Sofa, only because it's in it's name.

I've no problems with it being called a couch though.

Couch.

Unless it's a loveseat.

Then there's the chaise.

Chaise + couch = sectional.

Couch. I don't think I ever use sofa.

 

[x-alki]

My cats call it a scratching post.
