re: Pahluh

Oh my.. You only used the Pahla on Christmas or other special occassions. You lived in the television Room. Had to warm up the TV. and adjust the rabut ears

Yeah, I think that's the original usage, but...

...when I do home visits, I have some families who have a large house with a formalish "parlor" and a less formal "family room" or "den" or "TV room" that's used every day, doesn't require removing shoes to enter like the parlor does, etc.

But then I also have some who live in small apartments with only one living-room-type-room that contains the kitchen table, the TV, the kids' toys, etc., and that also gets called "the parlor."
