Here are just a couple of terms that I have yet to figure out what they mean. I'll probably have more to add as I keep enjoying these boards.
Navy Shower?
Jack Knife Sofa?

I have a few thoughts, but Am interested to find out from someone who knows

p.s. *seems* first thought was correct, it's the converta-bed mechanism that looks/works like many futon couches.

Navy Shower: Turn water on to get wet everywhere - Turn water off and soap up - turn water back on to rinse off.
Jack Knife Sofa - Lift upward on front until the back lays flat, then lower seat back down to make into a bed. Raise seat back up until catches then lower back down to convert back to sofa.
Hope this helps.

jackknife sofa = UNcomfortable bed. It is a couch that you "jackknife" to open into a bed (NOT like a sleeper sofa). You lift the seat part up from the front and the back folds down flat to form a "bed". Most are terribly uncomfortable.
navy shower = save water. Wet, turn off water, soap, rinse.

LOL! OK so I'm getting the impression that I want to stay away from jack-knife sofas! Thanks for the advice.
