living room

[joenali]

Garbage, pop, ottoman, living room.

[moolarkey]

I use both trash and garbage. Garbage is scraps from the kitchen, trash is other stuff.
We have a living room and a family room. The living room does not have a TV, the family room does.
I would probably say ottoman OR footstool. I've never used the word Hassack (did I spell that correctly) in my life expect in this sentence.

We use the word pop here in Central Ohio. My South Central Illinois relatives, as I was growing up, use the word soda. My mom grew up there and pronounced Cincinnati as Cincinnatah. That really bugged me but it was how people, where she grew up, said it although I haven't heard anyone say it that way in a very long time, I think it was something use by older generations and the younger generations do not say it that way.

Trash, soda, footstool, family room (or living room sometimes). I'm not from Boston though. All of those new england figures of speech sounded so weird to me when I first moved here

Growing up we had a living room, den and a family room, so to me they are two different things. In my house we say living room because that is all we have.

[auntie]

I use the first two-

"garbage" is wet or compostable items- most of my garbage goes down the disposal.

"trash" is everything else except those items that get recycled.

DH calls it all trash.

I use "soda" to mean carbonated soft drink, "tonic" specifically for tonic water and "seltzer" for soda water.

DH sometimes calls carbonated soft drinks "cokes".

I call the thing I put my feet on an "ottoman", DH calls his a "foot rest".

I watch TV in a room I call my living room. My house was built with a big "great room" in lieu of a family or living room. But it just sounds weird to call it such. The previous owners had their TV in a loft area we walled off to make a 3rd bedroom- a space they referred to as the "TV room".

Depends. We have our tv in our living room, but if we used that as a formal living room and had another large living space upstairs for the tv then I'd say family room. Unless the tv is in the bedroom, then it's just the tv room. Or the basement, then I'd call it either just the basement or the rec room.

Living room and family room are different things. A living room is a little more formal than a family room, but both could have TVs. Since we only have one in our apartment, I call it the living room.
