A strategic coup d'état of a
couch or other piece of furniture. Accomplished by means of
small, deliberate moves toward both extremities of the seating arrangement simultaneously. The end goal is reached when one maintains full possession of the couch, futon, sofa, or love seat. Ejection of any and all previous couch-goers to the
floor is preferable. A cunning and underhanded move requiring skill, tact, and wit.
I wanted to
stretch my legs, so I went all manifest destiny on
Gus and Sam. They finally surrendered to my inevitable couch conquest, relocating themselves to the
floor.
