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 People calling themselves "Working class"
when they're long-term dole-scroungers. That really gets my goat.

This is a QotW comment Also,
We need another definition for people who spend their entire lives working in Call Centers as that doesn't class as "working class" in my (probably old-fashioned) book!

This is a QotW comment What...
does it class as, then?

"In MY opinion that's not REAL work...ing class"?

Would you prefer it that they sat round at home bemoaning being skint all the time because they can't get a job elsewhere for whatever reason?

This is a QotW comment That really is bollocks.
You work, to earn a living; you're working class.

This is a QotW comment definitely
I work, therefore, I am working class.

You claim benefits, therefore, you are a scrounging bastard
