This is a question 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?

Daily Mail readers mainly
1. Personal number plates….apart from ‘A1’
2. Pierced children, and children in ‘designer gear’.
3. Dogs with ‘terrier’ in the breed name.
4. Always taking the side of your kids no matter what.
5. Having your kids blinded and disabled by the Measles.

The number one trait of your commoner is trying not to be one, as personified by Mrs. Bucket. Anyone who thinks their clothes, manners, speech somehow proves they are not common, is pure muck.

I’ve got cousins who are terribly terribly middle class. Watching them at family gatherings is hilarious. They constantly twitch like rabbits, forever in a state of embarrassment, even their faux pas have faux pas.

Your actual knobs couldn’t give a fuck.

mm I agree
You should never pierce children.

Unless it's consensual.

Blinded by Maltesers?
What sort of delinquent parent (etc., etc.)

I disagree...
..as far as 3) is concerned - yorkshire terriers and similar are working class, yes, but not "common" in the perjorative sense.

"Darling, I'm just popping out to have Tabitha blinded by the measles".
"Oh darling are you sure? Is rather common".
