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?

The one and only time I went to SouthendI ended up (through a convoluted series of events) standing on the seafront in ripped, creased trousers, covered in mud, glasses askew, sweating and with cuts and grazes down both arms.
I still felt overdressed.
