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?

Complete strangers who call you "mate"I'm not your fucking mate. I dress, act and carry myself in such a way that it should repel the kinds of people who would call me "mate". So by calling me mate you are destroying all my hard work.
