Couch, Sofa, or Davenport?

[Jon 5]

So which do you call it? I tend to call it couch. Sometimes davenport. I think of sofa's as more sophisticated things that aren't very comfortable and more just there for decoration then actually sitting on. Let me know if I missed a choice and hopefully a mod can add it in.

This is similar to the pop vs soda vs soda pop debate. As well as the dinner/supper debate.

P.S. If this has been done, you can close this thread.

couch mostly, or sofa

Sofa usually.

I have never in my life heard it called a davenport (isn't that a surname?)

Edit: you forgot "settee"!
