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?

Holyhead?Pah!! Since you got that bridge and a new road out, it's positively sublime in HH now!
Did actually do (read start) a dissertation in Bangor Uni on the 'social response to the chav phenomenon', and came to the conclusion that they are no brighter or less dangerous than African Hunting Dogs
They have a hierarchy (based on the angle of the baseball cap:- the higher it is, the higher up they are in the group), there's an Alpha Chav, and they are incredibly territorial - you try sitting on the benches outside Woolies on a Saturday!!
