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 Staffordshire Bull Terriers
and their owners.

They look hard but are soft as shite, zero intelligence, squat features and thick skulls, have poor social skills and are crap at working.

This is a QotW comment hmm
I pity you and all who are so prejudiced against Staffs. I bet you've only ever seen one from across the street. Agreed it's a pity they became fashionable as a 'hard' dog.. something that suits them not one iota.

This is a QotW comment Of course they're crap at working...
They're dogs.

Ahem.

Seriously though, my mum and dad own a Staff and she's lovely, if a bit of a nark to other dogs. Otherwise, as you say, soft as shite.

This is a QotW comment Precisely
They were bred for fighting not working.
They needed to be ok with humans/handlers but agressive to other dogs.

When I say working I mean guarding, herding, retrieving, hunting, sled pulling, etc.

This is a QotW comment Errm
They're 'terriers', what did you expect?

This is a QotW comment What do you mean by "They're 'terriers', what did you expect?"?
Most terriers are bred for hunting.
Staffies aren't, they were bred for fighting.

This is a QotW comment Terriers are great for ratting, but...
..."guarding, herding, retrieving, hunting, sled pulling"?

If you want a dog that guards get a rottweiler/doberman
If you want a dog that herds get a sheepdog
If you want a dog that retrieves get a retriever
If you want a dog that pulls sleds get a husky

This is a QotW comment What? Pull your head in.
I'm not recommending a terrier for guarding, retrieving, herding or sled pulling.

Where have I said that?

ffs

*shakes head*

This is a QotW comment Apparently
staffy's are very loving dogs what come in many colours red blue brindle pied black. People think staffys are bad dogs what kill people but its how you raise them

So says Wikipedia

This is a QotW comment 'Bad dogs what kill people' - Who's been saying that?
Which planet are you on?
Have you read and absorbed anything I've put?
