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?

The former Mr Quarcalled curtains 'cur-TINS', which really used to annoy me. His mother called a slice of toast a 'toast butty' which had the same effect.
She came from north Lancashire which may explain it. Not excuse it, just explain it.
