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?

The real dangerIs former polytechnics who're actively proud of pretending to be universities. Damn Anglia Ruskin are putting all their money into advertising and none of it goes back to the courses - gah! And they celebrated their 150th anniversary last year. No, no, WE'RE 150 years old, us, the art college you swallowed up and are steadily trying to ruin!
