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?

AgreedWhen faced with this question, I always think of Withnail and I, the scene where Marwood is handed saveloy and chips while bathing, and questions eating lunch in the bath. Withnail (who is clearly the one of them that's from a well-to-do background) rages that 'it's dinner, (and Danny's here.')
So there.
