I’m sure everyone will shit on me for being a spelling Natzi, but the amount of people saying they have a “COACH” for sale, when they really mean “COUCH” is driving me absolutely CRAZY! How hard is it to spell the word couch? I’ve seen this mistake on signs in my building, and all over online classifieds. Before you do up an ad, make sure you can spell. I don’t care how bitchy I sound right now… —PF

Git oat of the hoese, eh?
Stay where yer at and I’ll come where yer to.
That’s some nice coach, like.
i won’t o.p., but riddle me this. when is a couch not a couch? when it is a sofa, divan, chesterfield, lounger, settee, or a loveseat. so many names, same thing. if you can sit on it, i call it a seat. you must be reading kijiji again.
What the hell is a “NATZI” lol
Go damn I mispelled in my own bitch about mispelling… fml
MISSPELLED… God damn, I need to go to sleep…
bahaha… 😀
sometimes, it helps.
On this side of the harbour we calls them a chesterfield
That’s what my momma calls them…
It’s all good Purplefire happens to the breast of us. Thanks for the laugh !
Somehow this thread is just killing me… breast of us. Sigh. *chuckle*
Glad to be of service 🙂
let’s call it a sofa
nope, chesterfield it is
LOL you fell on your own sword PF
Chesterfield – holy fuck, rising images of June Cleaver’s plastic pearls and doctor endorsed cigarettes are dancing before my eyes. I just call it the ‘Long Rectangle with Annoying Floppy Pillows’ now.
Then there is always good old davenport. Well, that is how it is going ‘sofa’ today. Sweet deity and it is only Monday.
Maybe they’re selling one of these:

Now, does anybody know an honest dugong; I need to buy a coach.
We’ve always had a Chesterfield.
An OK cigarette.

I figured the “natzi” mistake was on purpose, you shoulda rolled wit it u gurl
Real Canadians call it a chesterfield… thanks for the laughs gang!
A NATZI is the updated Tea Party version of NAZI, they slipped the extra T in as a reminder that the US economy is going Tits up.
I think you will enjoy this =)

Love this bitch. And you should haved gone with it miss fire… Never admit the mistake if you can spin it and make it work 🙂
What the heck is a davenport?

important message coming later today, maybe.
I don’t think I “know an honest dugong”, but I do know several Dewgongs, and they seem to be trustworthy creatures. 😛 http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/uplo…
Thank you, this has bugged me for years too.
I haven’t seen coach instead of couch, but what drives me is when idiots write tonite instead of tonight!
It’s a sofa! Just don’t call it a chesterfield, lol
Anyone that posts an ad online ever seems like an absolute retard. Here’s an example:
“have a Nice 1 bdrooem 4 sublet… cums wit Water and heet… plz Contact me @ 1231985 n Ask 4 dave.”
YEAH OKAY.
It’s someone from Cape Breton – Waddya doin by-ieeee sellin yar coach?
I’m from newfoundland and even I find the cape breton accent annoying. Like someone took a newfie and beat us with a stupid stick.
I’m going outside now to bust up an old chiffarobe…
…and then you’re gonna walk like a Eee-jipshun.

I always suspected Boo was a ninja!
OP, maybe they are selling a Coach…..after all the Mooseheads do suck.
Once went to pick up a couch from kijiji and instead there was this awkward angry guy with a whistle and a for sale sign on his shirt that screamed at me and told me to drop and give him twenty. We thought it was an error and the ad people meant couch but we were wrong. We felt bad, after all who would buy him if we didn’t, so we took him home and named him Bob. Doesn’t quite match our other furniture though.
🙂 Jk.

It’s pop not soda…………oops, wrong argument, sorry.
Happy K that was awesome!
Hi R.C. davenport |ˈdavənˌpôrt|
noun
1 a large upholstered sofa, typically able to be converted into a bed. [ORIGIN: perhaps from a manufacturer’s name.]
Also, a street in Toronto – lol, and a few other things too. The term used to be used more back in the 60s and earlier.

Hey Dartguy. Thank you very much!
To the credit of the people writing the adds maybe they are actually selling a coach and not a couch!
martym, for sure. Too bad only the first season is available on DVD.
ah heck why don’t we go back to the Canadianism of Chesterfield?
And remember Ossifer Tim – “Be careful out there”
