These three words are in common English where I am from but not too common in the USA from what I heard.
One is Parkade
Two is Garbourator Not sure on spelling on this one
Three is Chesterfield

Parkade = car park
Garbourator - that scary thing in the sink, where the drain should be, that you stuff food down, flick a switch, and it makes a horrible grindy noise.
Chesterfield - originally a specific kind of couch, now used, in some places, as a generic term for any old couch.

Chesterfield is an old-fashioned term for a sofa - presumably after furniture made in the Northern English town of the same name. My grandma used the term.
Parkade and Garbourator? Never heard of them.
'Carburettor', perhaps - the part of a car engine?

The first sounds like parquet, a kind of floor
The secound could be carburetor, a part of the car that helps with air intake
Chesterfield, a fancy word for a couch or sofa
