Humpday Triviola (Go Bears!)
The earliest dated citation of this term was published in the Oxford English Dictionary in 1787. The term refers to an adapted form of furniture that is more popular in America but it's true origins (thought to be 18th Century) are unknown. What is it?

Hint
When I said adapted form of furniture perhaps I should have said "retrofitted".

Not sure, but I think I will go sit in the rocker and think about it for awhile and maybe something will come to mind.
;-) Answer
That's it. The rocking chair while it may have existed earlier is largely an 18th century innovation. The roots may be european but it's popularity and development is largely American.
