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?

common Northern girlWatching 'Strictly Come Dancing' is deeply common. What makes it even more common (for those of us that pronounce English correctly) is that ghastly female co-presenter constantly talking about 'cooples', 'joodges', 'resoolts' etc. I bet she went to a comprehensive and not to a boarding school. Why can't she shut her common face?
