People in
Buffalo, New York don't have "living rooms," or even worse, "family rooms." They have parlors. It's the room with
couches and usually a
TV set where everyone goes to relax.
Example:
"Hey Tom, put
the Bills game on in the TV in the parlor, but mute it. I've got the stereo
tuned to
97 Rock."
