The canvas folding bed that someone posted earlier, reminds me of MASH, I don't think I've ever seen a bed like that in real life!
To me, from a UK English point-of-view, I have to support the definition that Cot equals a babies bed. I'd call a bed that folds away a folding bed. I've had to use one once in a hotel room many years ago, but then again, I don't care much about what I sleep on, I can sleep on the floor relatively comfortably!
Still from context, cot as a folding bed made sense in this strip.
... and yes, Claire does look cute in those pictures of Jeph's! :-) :oops: :laugh:

Like I said before, I predict that Claire will fall for Marten, but Marten will sink the ship.
And, in en_US, a cot is a temporary bed with a (usually canvas) surface over a (usually wooden or metal) frame, designed to be collapsed for portability, and often associated with the military or camping. A rollaway is the normal name for the temporary beds used in hotels when 2 beds aren't enough, and a crib is the normal name for what a baby sleeps in (or, in Ebonics, the name for a home).
Is it cold in here?:
Claire probably doesn't have much relationship experience.
