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?

My surname is GreeneIt should be Green (with no 'e' on the end) but my grandmother changed it when they were married, I guess it was to common for her sophisticated taste. So now my branch of the family doesn't match the rest of the family.
These days she has dementia so bad you can't even talk to her.
Who's common now Granny?
