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?

Ketchup has its place though.I've been known to run out late on a Sunday and be reduced to rifling through all my coats for the sachets I invariably pocket in cafes against this very emergency.
When I find one I hold it aloft, joyously calling out 'Ya fuckin' dancer!'
