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?

Baked Beans..I mean, how DARE I suggest that they come from the same vat as all the supermarket ones!
Clearly Heinz Beans are superior in every way, despite tasting and looking exactly the same as Tesco's.
In fact, I asked a Tesco girls what the difference between Tesco beans and Heinz beans was whilst in a Tesco in Scotland once.
She replied, "about 38p".

Nah...cheap beans usually have extremely runny juice and taste a bit funny, like they've been left to slowly decompose in the sun for a few days before being canned.
Or maybe that was just the No Frills Kwik Save ones my mum used to buy.
