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?

burbing in the openI release a tremendous amount of gas. My friends would often refer to me as Mr.Gaseous. My vocal gas emissions can be particularly loud, especially when working in the garden. Bending and stretching whilst doing the weeding causes trapped wind to escape. Consequently, I overhead my neighbour complaining (in Thai, as I live in Thailand) that we must be keeping pigs or frogs in the garden. Disgusting foreigner.
