CommonFreddy 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?

Well,Coming from quite a plebby family and rough council estate, it wasn't until I was about twenty until I realised there was a difference between 'f' and 'th'.
I would say how my life has gone since, but I find that sort of thing a bit, well, common.
Sincerely, Dr. Tony Keene, Ph. D, BSc (hons).

Fuckingis the most glorious adjective in the english language! It's the only one you ever need and makes a brilliant stand-in if you forget any of the others or are too excited to think straight.
