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 No, I just pay no attention.
Yes, I've seen them, but I didn't know that's what they were called. And quite frankly I don't care!

This is a QotW comment I've got Ugg boots : (
I bought them when I thought they were on the wane, fashion wise and then every bugger started wearing them.

Their bloody comfy.

This is a QotW comment my brother had a pair when they weren't just for annoying girls
this must have been 10-15 years ago. I believe he still has them.

They are well-made and comfortable, but they look like shit and are hideously over-priced.

and the girls who wear them with their fucking Exeter Uni hoodies and track suit trousers or leggings tucked inside the boots must all be rounded up and shot. First with huge amounts of semen (riddled with teh Bad AIDS) then in a more conventional fashion using guns and/or cannon.

This is a QotW comment Same here.
I just googled them, and I now believe they're called that because they look like something cavemen might've worn.
