In our family, and extended, it's called a poda sop, has been since my youngest started talking, and the other children in the family call it that too, and the adults follow suit. We never say sofa, always couch. My Grandma always said AL(as in Al Rouker), mands, for almonds, no one can figure out where she got this. Other weird things said are: torlet toilet), chimley(chimney) and warsh(wash).
