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?

I'm common......as far as the people I went to college think. At school I was actually nicknamed Lord Brockett for a little while because they considered me well spoken. At college, if I spoke up in lectures, people would crane their heads round as if to say "Fuck me, the window-cleaner's keen"
It's all a matter of perspective I suppose.
