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?

Anti-commonFor the record, I live in the South but I find Northerners much, much, MUCH nicer and more polite than Southerners. Everywhere has their pockets of pram-jockeys but I feel a lot less affronted when I'm up the other end of the country.
