This is my wagon and it doesn't go to the grocery store. It goes up and down the street and to the park. It doesn't need fixing, Babyruth

Fourth Set of What do you call...it?

1. c Where women stash their wallets and perhaps their lives.

2. c Stacked and hot and usually served with maple syrup or at least Aunt Jemima's.

3. c Schoolchildren usually wait in a hallway line to use this after recess.

4. c Underneath a house, below ground.

5. c In case of a fire, hopefully one of these is nearby; and, in cities, they are often opened to allow children to cool off on very hot days.

1. when I used to live in NY, it was a bag (as in hand bag), but since moving to California, and no one understanding "bag", I now call it a purse.
2. pancakes
3. water fountain
4. if the only access to the room is from the house, it is a basement. If you can access it form outside, it's a cellar (as in a storm cellar).
5. fire hydrant

5. Fire hydrant, a favorite of many dogs

I collect vintage purses, and they are also called pocketbooks or handbags. But to me, it's a purse (as in, "let me grab my purse").

Also, we don't have many basements here in San Diego. And I'm pretty sure no one has a cellar or a storm cellar! <grin>

FWIW: The Davenport and Chesterfield were name brands of large, long sofas back in the 50's. The Davenport seat and back were able to unhinge to lay 'flat' to convert into a sleeper. A Chesterfield is a sofa specifically having upright upholstered arm rests. Divan is a backless sofa, used against a wall, with pillows to lean on. A couch is backless and can be used in the middle of a room. A chaise is a lounge seat originally used in the bedroom. A settee is a sofa with a shorter length but a very high back, mostly used in a formal living area. A sofa is a long seat with a back and arms, upholstered or not, formal or casual.
