Some mistakenly believe they are interchangeable. My mother said chest of drawers, but it seems to me we just say chest now rather than dresser. Oleo is margarine I pronounce it, peh cahn. Never heard the term chesterfield, but sofa/couch are used about equally. Divan just makes me think of Raising Arizona My grandma said dungarees, and she also called bologna minced ham...wth?

Uh, how do you think you're supposed to pronounce it? It's not "cup board". I say bedclothes, but I'm totally at a loss as to where I picked it up, since the rest of my family just says sheets. I've never used chesterfield or dungarees. And it's kind of an odd distinction, but I'd describe something wider than it is tall as a dresser, and something taller than it is wide as a chest of drawers. :c \ My dad still uses the term chifforobe. I call it soda, whereas nearly everyone else I know calls it coke. My grandpa calls it "sodee pop". Nearly everyone here calls margerine "butter", and I'm trying to break this habit. Pe-KAHN. Oh, and sofa to me is specifically used for the decorative couches that old people keep that you're not allowed to sit on, while one you can sit on is just a couch.

We say "pull the chain" in our house too, even though toilets haven't had chains for decades. My neighbour in Canada always called his sofa "the Chesterfield", but it actually was a Chesterfield so I never though anything of it and didn't know it was used as a general term for any sofa. Dungarees are overalls and soda/pop is fizzy.

The Closet (in the hallway) - The Locker. It's really confusing when he tells someone to get the soap powder out of the locker so he can wash his bed clothes. O_o

I have never even heard the word chesterfield used for what I call a couch before. My grandparents used to say davenport and chest of drawers. My dad used to call me his little Jiggaboo. I don't know why. He was a little on the racist side though.

I have lived up North, down South, both coasts, and in the middle. dungarees (jeans) is the only thing I read as being old though. Maybe 'cause I've never heard the other terms. SODA is the only acceptable term, yw.
