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?

No
No no no and no. No-one need have any hint of what you are going to do in the bathroom

Not even if they've just filled the room with their own
noxious gas, and they're only telling you to excuse the rudeness of said expulsion, and their rapid vacation of the room?

Well
I suppose that might be permissible. It's still dreadfully common though.
