Common
Freddy 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?

I agree!
I saw such a display where this joyriding kid had ploughed into a lampost and killed himself.
There was a wreath with "World's Best Brother" picked out in flowers.
I have two problems with this:
1) That's a fucking spurious claim anyway. How many other people have brothers/ are brothers. A few billion I would say.
2) He was blatantly a thieving, joy-riding little cunt and deserved everything he got.
