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?

Glasgow's illustreous St Enoch CentreMy cousin is a big deal in Education and Social Welfare. Despite this he is a bit of a scruffy bastard in his spare time. Whilst in my late teens he (dressed in torn jeans and a scabby old fleece) and myself were in Glasgow. During our time in town he decides that the gem of Glasgow's shopping delights, the St Enoch Centre would be his destination. Not because he wanted to browse the many neddy (chavvy) shops or partake in the bakery feast that is Greggs. No! He is was going there because, at the time, the public toilets were still free to use. So, every £50000 pa earning fibre in him jogs up the stairs for a free piss. A couple of minutes pass and he comes back down again and announces (nay, bellows) in his finest upper crust high society accent, "Come young OTT let us leave, the....smell of poor people is overwhelming me"
Made me laugh......
