[QUOTE="donna723, post: 444926, member: 1883"] I always thought that "couch" and "sofa" were interchangeable terms too. Back in my parents' day some people called them "davenports" - wonder where that ever came from? If I hear the word "settee", I'm picturing a delicate little antique thing with thin cushions, not a big upholstered sofa or couch. And we always just called that sandwich a "grilled cheese". Around here those knit hats are just called 'boggans. [/QUOTE]
