I've sofa surfed plenty.

What are you surfing? TV channels? The internet? Ocean waves via a computer reality app? Browsing couch catalogues?

Isn't sofa surfing or couch surfing a thing in other countries?

I've sofa surfed plenty.

VS

I've sofa surfed plenty of times.

and

Can you say:

I've couch surfed plenty.

VS

Are both okay?

You could probably say all those things, but if you said them to me, I wouldn't know what you were talking about.

My friend told me that I could sleep on her couch and I say:

Can you say:

I've sofa surfed plenty.

VS

I've sofa surfed plenty of times.

and

Can you say:

I've couch surfed plenty.

VS

I've couch surfed plenty of times.


None of these would work?

I only know it as "couch surfing". I've never surfed but my couch has been surfed a couple of times.

I only know it as "couch surfing". I've never surfed but my couch has been surfed a couple of times.

So, the right way to say it is:

I've couch surfed plenty of times.

I would probably hyphenate it - "couch-surfed". In BrE, we'd probably say "lots of times". "Plenty" is usually used to mean "ample/enough".

I've couch-surfed lots of times.
I've couch-surfed many times.
