Our Canadian organist/choirmaster in East Cupcake would use terms like
Chesterfield as though everyone everywhere used that term. I remember
a choir party at his house when his wife told one of the tenors she
had picked up a dropped glove of his and put in on the Chesterfield.
He blinked and said, "Quick: name three synonyms for Chesterfield!"
hoping one of them would enlighten him as to where his glove was.
