Hey! I understand that:
For our American/British/Australian friends
Serviette is a napkin (I always use this because to me a napkin is too reminiscent of sanitary napkins)
Poutine: frenchfries with cheese curds and gravy ( I add ketchup too) (for Americans, french fries is now known as freedom fries - long live the battle!)
Chesterfield: couch or sofa. In my experience, chesterfields were always mod-like 1960's vintage in style, while couches and sofas bring to mind large overstuffed pieces of furniture that are hard to move...
