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?

100%With you on that one.
I was accosted for it during my 3 years of uni, lived with 11 different people and they all called tea dinner, dinner lunch and even used supper.

Hold on...
...surely if dinner means the main meal of the day, then aren't northerners being MORE posh by having their main sit-down meal in the middle of the day, where only fancy non-working posh gits have the time to have it, whilst all the southerners have their main meal at the end of the day, after work, when they've got time to have it?
Or...does it mean that anyone who eats breakfast-dinner-tea doesn't work a daytime job? ^_^
*is from south, lives in north, prefers it here...but still can't call lunch "dinner"*

ButI'm from the south and have always had breakfast, dinner and tea.
Mind you, next door to my parents' they have 'supper' not tea. To me supper is a bowl of cereals or bit of toast with a cuppa before bed.
