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 answer trying too hard.
Where I used to live, I swear that every single person was a 'Hyacinth Bucket' type.

If you called the 'patisserie' a 'bakery' or a 'cake shop', they'd look at you like they didn't know what you were talking about.

Fucking Marseille.
