A couch by another name is a little bigger than a loveseat or a chaise lounge.

In discussing the horrors of computer disseminated intelligence I got on the subject of semantics and verbiage. There are a number of things that have a variety of names. Like the Eskimos supposedly have 10,000 works for snow.

For about a decade now I ponder ever so often the reason why we have a number of different terms for a ‘couch’. Yet I have not been motivated enough to actually find out why.

Couch

Davenport

Sofa

Divan

Chesterfield

Semantics…but apparently from quick internet based research sofa would seem the most appropriate, but only when the political climate is not controlled by Arab hating zelots, since sofa comes from suffah which is essentially the same thing.

Because the blood of Americans is blue, since red is communist.
