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?

Wearing football shirtswhilst doing ANYTHING other than playing football, or attending an actual football match at a football ground.
Likewise: baseball caps are to be worn when playing baseball or attending a game. Anyone wearing one all the time is bordering on "chav" and if it's Burberry, they've crossed the line.

I sometimes wear a baseball capwhen running in the too hot or raining. This is largely because I'd look even more of a tit exercising in a trilby.
