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?

People who..obsess about showing their wealth.
I know several people who are into ostentatious shows of wealth.
E.g. multiple cars for two people, booking a £100 a head restaurant for your birthday dinner rather than all meeting up somewhere and having a laugh, or boasting that your shirt cost the best part of £300.
