As in a sofa? That's sort of weird. Sorry, I have no idea what your talking about. Just thought I'd throw in a funny little Canadianism, since it's the first thing I thought of when I saw that. Some people call a sofa a chesterfield (namely my grandpa) because that's the name of the company that used to make a bunch of them.

That is a bit weird, although nothing more weird than Australians calling bed linens "Manchester" I suppose :S
My friend's gran likes to call benches "forms"; these old people are all so niché, aren't they? :P
