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 Sign of a commoner.
People who wear running shoes when not doing sports. There are trainers for wearing in the street (Adidas Superstars, Nike 6.0, Classic Dunks etc), and sports/running shoes (Nike Air, Shox, Reeboks) for doing sports/running in, and should be kept separate.

This is a QotW comment I'll accept being called a commoner...
Anyone with flat feet should go to a proper running store, suffer the humilation of taking off your shoes and socks to walk around infront of an assistant, and then try walking in the most comfortable shoes you'll ever have experienced. Init!

This is a QotW comment It's OK
Ice9 is plainly too fat to move any faster than a walk.
