    Yes, in "Last of the Mohicans", the French refer to Hawkeye as 'le lounge
    carabine', owing to his habit of spending so much time in saloon bars. The
    invention of a machine for the exact calculation of drinking time later
    became the subject of Dava Sobel's classic "Loungitude".

    In UK English, the phrase is "chaise longue". I never heard or saw
    "chaise lounge" before now. And it certainly looks American to me!
