In 1.10 Parting Gifts, Angel says:
“Vampires don’t sleep in coffins. It’s a misconception made popular by hack writers and ignorant media. In fact, you know, we can and do move around during the day. As long as we avoid direct sunlight. Got it?”
This is referring to the popular stereotype that vampires sleep in coffins during the day. It is employed by many horror writers, such as Anne Rice, Darren Shan, and Bram Stoker.

“Demon. He set up camp in my neighbourhood. He put to of my men in the hospital last night. So could one of you go in there and knock on his coffin?”
