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 thought about...
...the Scottish man with a huge unidentifiable pet, whom I asked whether he was taking his horse for a walk, and with a shake of the head he replied:
"Cur, mon!"
But I thought it was too pathetic.
Actually, reading it now, it's too pathetic even to bury in a thread here...
