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?

Just remembered a good oneAbout my friend K.
K isn't exactly small at 6'6", and he's pretty heavily built with it. He also (as his size might suggest) has an appetite fit for a herd of Elephants, and he never lets little things like common sense and taste hold him back.
We were in Waitrose one day (having just been gently harassing one of our mutual friends who worked as a till monkey), when K decides he is hungry. He wants cereal.
So we go to the cereal isle. K sees the cereal he wants. It's one of those fecking enormous catering-size boxes. So he buys it. And a wooden spoon. And a small carton of milk.
Guess what he did as we left the shop and started walking through the centre of town?
He lived 5 minutes walk away ffs. He just couldn't be bothered.
