I thought of more!
Growing up we had a couch AND a sofa. The couch was covered in black pleather (vinyl). It was in the den, which was our family room and where we all sat to watch TV or just hang out with each other as a family.
The sofa was in our formal living room, and was covered in green silk, and was reserved ONLY for us to sit (not lay down) and read or listen to music, or for guests to sit on.
We also had "package stores" in Connecticut - the term originated there, because the law required customers to carry their liquor out of the store in sealed containers, bags, or otherwise similarly packaged. Georgia also had the same law so you might know it as a package store there as well.
