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?

Thank you!I keep referring to it "Tesco's" and feel dirty every time. I even pain over where the hyphen should be. Thank you for clarifying!

Half agree.But the other half of me cannot agree with you because a lack of "s" at the end makes the rhyme about someone buying their best clothes there redundant.
