People are arguing about soda vs. pop? I've seen a map of a national survey on that subject.
The reason I thought of this thread: last night my wife asked me to get a quilt off of "the ottoman" and I said "the footstool?" and it made me think of how my grandmother calls a couch a "divan" ... my wife said that couch to sofa to divan is a hierarchy of fanciness. And I guess an ottoman is a fancy footstool. "Davenport?" ... where are your folks from, Cloud? "Settee" ... I like that one. That gives me a chuckle. Edit: My wife says "settee" trumps "divan" in the fanciness scale.
