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've made that mistake before
instead I shall bottle it all up until it is unleashed in an all-encompassing violent maelstrom of planet-crushing proportions.
Then they'll see. They all see. Oh yes.
