My aunt used to say davenport instead of sofa or couch.

I'm from australia- here we call soda "soft drink"
Not sure what the others are tho lol0 -
Here in Maine we just say lobstah! Oh and my grandparents' generation said "sody" for soda pop; davenport for couch; and piazza for porch. Actually, we also say: soda, lightening bugs and subs, although we used to say Italian sandwich. We also like to say "wicked good"; "up the rud a piece"; and we just love a good whoopie pie!0

--- Pop or soda? - I usually order by brand name, and ask for cola if I don't know if they serve Pepsi or Coke. Sometimes I go crazy and say "soda pop"
--- I'll order a sub at place that don't back the sandwiches, and a grinder if it is baked (like at a pizza place)
--- Lightning Bug0 -
