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?

Genuine, gold-plated rarity. Admittedly, the city sucks, but some of the people are pure diamonds.

Common
People not on benefits. They're not very common, in fact they're pretty scarce.
