You and Foetus actually say sentences like "I slept on the lounge last night.." and "Don't stand on the lounge."?

Mighty strange.

Couch or Settee for me, she calls it a Sofa because she thinks it sounds posher.

She's right. Mrs Uwe is obviously of good stock ;.)

 

[otherwise]

Couch, as I don't want to confuse the natives. Settee, if I'm talking to my Mum. Sofa, if I was a member of the royal family.

lol.

Yes, couch. I learned settee from reading this forum :p
My grandma used to call it a chesterfield, for anything that I would call a couch. Never use sofa.

Grew up calling it a settee, called it that for about 30 odd years but lately been couch and sofa. What do they advertise them as?

I think they are pretty much always advertised as sofas here in the UK.
