37. So did my formerly-Mennonite grandmother.

The tradition ended with her, and my Mom and I went with "couch."

[Walleye]

3. Ours was always a sofa, but my grandmother called hers a Davenport

Her footstool was an ottoman. A chest of drawers was a chifferobe. And the white cloths you put on the back of the chair to rest your head were called antimacassars

[Wicked Blue]

7. The antimacassars were intended to keep greasy macassar oil from staining the furniture

Men used to goop the oil on their hair in the 1800s and early 1900s.

28. I've always been amused by the term "chesterfield"

… and wondered from whence it came. How did Chester manage to get an entire field? Apparently named after the Earls of Chester, some English hoidy-toidys of yonder year.

The use of the word chesterfield has apparently decreased steadily to be near zero now. Although Chris Horner, a former pro cyclist with a YouTube channel who comments on pro cycling races, is quite fond of the term.
