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?

Gorton.I live in Gorton, one of the... umm... up-and-coming areas of Manchester. For that, read "regeneration zone".
Just across the road from me is a pub that, until a fortnight ago, was lit by fluorescent tubes, and had an old Simpsons Christmas decoration thing in the window. That, surely, has to be some kind of a warning.
Oh - and girls being sent there on a Sunday lunchtime to fetch their fathers, dressed in a hoodie over their pyjamas. Not good.
