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 Italians are very big on this apparently.They have all sorts of rules of etiquette about eating on the go and what you should or shouldn't drink with your meal.

I thinkthe basic rule is don't drink anything that will clash with what you've eaten, so as not to cause offence to those who have to clean up your sick.
