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?

Eating pudding without forkAccording to Mrs Steamer - I am common because I have somehow mastered the art of eating my pudding with just the one implement - the trusty spoon.
I think this makes me more efficient AND saves on washing up - but apparently the non use of a fork is worthy of the silent treatment at her parents house. This is a matter of principle though.
As is calling it "pudding" as opposed to "dessert".
What with the credit crunch and that you'd think there was more important stuff to worry about.

Saying 'pudding' is posh, actuallyIt's much more common to call it 'dessert' and as for eating it with a fork? That's just affected. What if there's custard?
