Sofa, couch, or davenport?

[eclectics]

I was brought up on "Take your feet off the sofa", so, sofa it remains. But at my Aunt's house, it was "Take your feet off the couch". . To each his own!

My parents used to say davenport, but I use both couch and sofa.

The young ones on this thread will not be familiar with davenport.
It's an old term

What do you call it? I always say couch, but my grandpa always says davenport and my friend says sofa.

I have never heard of a Davenport.

I'm only 18 lol. "Get yer feet of the darn davenport!" That's how I know it.

I say couch usually, but sofa sometimes too. My grandparents used the term Davenport. I remember it was used exclusively to a couch in their front room that did indeed have exposed legs, all burgandy with a raised pattern, in like a loose loop. It belonged to my great grandmother.
