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?

SmithMy mothers maiden name was Smith, which was/is pretty common.
Everyone wants to change the name from that.
Thing is it gets to be silly when I'm asked a security question of 'Your Mothers Maiden name?" on various online forms.
I enter 'Smith' and most of the time it is rejected as me being either a computer trawling the site or a bot.
You can't win.
