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?

People who say "random" all the time
Please, please pick up a dictionary and expand your fucking vocabulary. And I do mean dictionary - a thesaurus will teach you alternatives to the word random. Half the stuff you claim to be random ISN'T ACTUALLY RANDOM.

Thesaurus
might be more appropriate.

This, this, THIS.
Slag of the Universe used to say "how random" to everything and the mere sound of the word being used out of context makes me want to cunt the person who said it in the fuck.

Well said.
How did this start?

I'm completely with you on this.
I live in a town which often seems more like a university with a town attached (clue: it isn't Oxford) and the students have just got back from summer. The clouds of "rah rah supervision rah rah DoS rah rah *snortlaugh* bop...so RANDOM!" emanating from the vast herds of Ollies and Jemimas crowding the pavements makes the walk to work less of a journey and more of an exercise in stopping myself from kicking their larynges out of their throats.
