OH SNAP IT'S DECEMBER!

TEDD HAS THEIR OLD HAIRSTYLE!

SARAH PRESUMABLY DOESN'T HAVE A MARK!

WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?!

Mostly that I wanted it to be chilly, which might be relevant to a storyline entitled "Blanket".

BUT WHAT DOES IT REALLY MEAN?!

Also, considering that a lot of Tedd's experiments involve losing clothes, you'd think it would be warmer.

You know, I've heard people use that logic before, and I've never understood it. Couches are heat sources? Really? Especially vinyl couches? Anyway, if I recall correctly, there isn't actually a couch in Tedd's basement, it's a sofa. Just like there wasn't a couch in *any* of the basements I was told should be warmer because of having a couch in them. For those unaware of the distinction, a couch is a less formal piece of furniture more suited for laying on than a sofa. Like the stereotypical couch in a psychologist's office, couches can just have one arm or no arms but have one side raised, and frequently don't have backs. When they do have two arms, they're really low arms that could serve as an immobile pillow and don't interfere with the sleep functionality. Sofas have more pronounced arms (like the one in the picture above) and definitely have backs. Sometimes even ridiculous ones, like Susan's. Also note that my pickiness about what a couch is and what a sofa is makes about as much sense as "you expect rooms with couches in them to be warmer." The words mean what people mean with them, and most of us just don't care. But Sarah wasn't using logic, so I figured might as well prescriptivist for a paragraph or two.

And today I learned that the thing I was calling a couch for my entire life is actually a sofa… I always assumed they were two words for the same thing. I’m Australian, I’m used to other countries having different words for the same thing. Will probably still call it a couch though.

A sofa is a large padded object in the parlor or similar room intended to sit or lie on. Couches are sofas, but not all sofas are couches. A couch has arms and a back and is long enough to lie on. If it isn't long enough to lie on, it's a loveseat. However, a sofa may also be a davenport, lurking about waiting for an unsuspecting victim..

My grandparents' place, back when I was a kid, had a massive basement section: it was basically another living quarters. My sister and cousins and I would go down there to play sometimes. It was freezing cold (this was in Canada, and as far as I know, there was no heating down there). And when I say "another living quarters", I mean full-on kitchen and living rooms with couches. Looking at those memories with adult eyes, I am baffled as to what it actually was.

Is a couch still a couch if it’s long enough for a short person to lie on but not long enough for a tall person to lie on? (At least, not without legs overhanging by at least a foot).

Erin Halfelven at BigCloset Based on my Googling, which was admittedly only three reference pages and the dictionary, you have a few details backwards. A Sofa has prominent arms and a back and is made for primarily sitting, and a couch does not necessarily have arms or a back and is the more generic term for a large sitting/lying furniture piece. And all Sofas are couches, but not all couches are sofas.

Basically a Davenport is a type of sofabed and while technically not a mimic per se the have been know to swallow children and other little people.

To address the original question: if someone puts a couch in a room, they clearly expected people to lounge around in that room. You wouldn't expect people to lounge around in a poorly-insulated unheated room. Such rooms get used for laundry, storage, or some other purpose that doesn't require comfort. It's not that the couch makes the room warm. It's that the owner wouldn't have put the couch there if the room wasn't reasonably comfortable. Caveat: my parents' house didn't have A/C, so downstairs was pretty comfy in summer but a bit cool in winter. But Sarah might be accustomed to homes with better climate control.
