Chaise Lounge : Phrases
Meaning:
Lounge chair.
Example:
Rita felt very comfortable in the store's new chaise lounge, imported from Paris.
Origin:
The French called it a chaise longue or long chair, but Americans, on importing it from France, assumed that the longue in the expression was French for lounge. Chaise lounge has remained ever since, despite all the efforts of purists.
