@Miraz @dejus @jean I absolutely love that I was able to wake up and find this discussion! Sorry that I'm late to the party with my AEDST time zone... 🌏

Naturally, you are all correct in your use of 'lounge'; it's quite a versatile word! Like Jean said, indeed I do enjoy lounging on the beach or by a pool and yes David, when I say 'the lounge' or 'the lounge room', I am referring to the 'living room'. Miraz is right when she says that I most often use it to refer to the actual piece of furniture; I've never said 'couch' or 'sofa' habitually. I sit on the lounge to ruminate.

In fact, I cracked up the other day because we were looking through family videos and during a Christmas Day clip (when I was five), the family was opening presents on the floor and I asked, 'May I sit on the lounge?' 😂 I've always been a lounge guy.

Have there been any other terms that have thrown you off? 🤔
