okiedog Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 I'm shopping for new furniture. While doing this I got to thinking about the different names due to regions or generation. What do you call it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 i'm 28 and from the Northeast. i'd call it a living room too. a secondary one, that usually doesn't have a TV, i'd call a family room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michiganbowhunter_SQ2 Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 I called it a couch. Occasionally I'll say sofa but most of the time it is couch. Is it a regional thing kind of like "soda" and "pop"? Never heard the other two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
