An ottoman is a piece of furniture, a
padded, upholstered seat or bench having neither back
nor arms, often used as a stool or footstool, or in
some cases as an improvised coffee table.
An ottoman can also be known as a footstool, tuffet,
hassock or pouf ([1]). Some ottomans are hollow, in
which case they are often used as blanket boxes.
Word history
The word ottoman was introduced into English in the
"footstool" sense in 1806 (probably from the identical
French word, which also denotes a type of textile
fabric), because the ottoman's typical use in a
reclining position was associated in Europe with the
Orient, in line with fashionable Turkish influence
since the early 18th century (when the Balkans were
still partially under Ottoman rule). It is not
supposed to have been invented by the Ottoman Turks
(compare divan). The word Ottoman as associated with
the furniture used as a footstool is widely believed
to have come about in the late 18th century when the
Ottomans as a people were invaded by the French. This
invasion included physical punishment to include "pain
walks" (loosely translated) - because of these walks
Ottomans soon thereafter fashioned footstools to rest
their tired extremities. These footstools later became
widely popular in Europe and the term 'Ottoman' was
coined to give tribute to the furniture's origin.
In the opening title sequence of The Dick Van Dyke
Show, Dick Van Dyke trips over an ottoman. A second
version of the opening depicts him side-stepping the
ottoman, not resulting in a trip.
A slang word for ottoman is "humpty" in some parts of
Eastern Canada.
A running gag on Bonanza had Ben Cartwright ask his
son Little Joe "Hey, Joseph, do you know the
difference between a table and an ottoman?". When
Little Joe responded "Sure I do" his father declared
"Then take your feet off the table!"
In the Barenaked Ladies's song "If I Had $1000000,"
when listing off what he would buy his love, Ed
Robertson sings "I'd buy you furniture for your
house," and Steven Page sings "Maybe a nice
Chesterfield or an Ottoman." Another reference can be
found in the Death Cab for Cutie song "Photobooth",
which includes the line, "And our clothes in a pile on
the ottoman". Wally from Dilbert makes an Ottoman joke
in the 13/03/2007 episode.
In the Friends episode The One With The Butt, Rachel
cleans the apartment, in the process moving Monica’s
green Ottoman. Monica cleverly tries to hide the fact
that she is obsessive by suggesting “Why don’t we see
what it looks like in its old place… just to
compare?”.
In the Seinfeld episode The Non-Fat Yogurt, Jerry
says, "I did this thing on the Ottoman Empire. Like,
what was this? A whole empire based on putting your
feet up?"
One episode of the cartoon version of the Tick
featured a furniture-themed supervillain who sought to
establish an "ottoman empire".
In the Mad About You episode The Alan Brady Show,
guest star Carl Reiner (reprising his role on The Dick
Van Dyke Show) does a scene revolving around tripping
over an ottoman.
In the Sabrina, the Teenage Witch episode Welcome
Back, Duke, guest star Dick Van Dyke plays a witch who
in one scene conjures an ottoman which Sabrina trips
over.
