This is a question Common

Freddy Woo writes, "My wife thinks calling the front room a lounge is common. Worse, a friend of hers recently admonished her daughter for calling a toilet, a toilet. Lavatory darling. It's lavatory."

My own mother refused to let me use the word 'oblong' instead of 'rectangle'. Which is just odd, to be honest.

What stuff do you think is common?

This is a QotW comment there's no t in beach
but you still say it. CH represents two sounds, and one of them is the more palatized "dge", like we say in the small Kentish town of Sandwich, you arrogant cunt.

This is a QotW comment Ahem
It's pronounced 'sangwidges' in God's Own Country.

Common I know, but the adequate descriptive term 'piece' was polluted by the foreign Sandwichness, so it had to be adapted.
