The Quad Cities has seemingly become a go-to for Jeopardy questions recently, and Thursday night's episode featured the area once again.

"This large upholstered couch that shares its name with the largest of the Quad Cities along the Iowa-Illinois border."

If you grew up with parents or grandparents born in the 40's or older, you've probably been told "It's on the davenport," or "Have a seat on the davenport."

The name davenport for sofas came from the series of sofas created by Massachusetts manufacturer A. H. Davenport and Company and is most popularly used by those born before or around World War II.

None of the contestants knew the answer, which of course was "Davenport, Iowa."

Check out this clip on the show:

The last time the Quad Cities area was used in the show was just back in October.
