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?

The DitchI lived there for a year and worked there for 5. I am originally from Sutton Coldfield so you can imagine my surprise that a town just round the M42 could be totally populated by inbreds crossed with inbreds.
TRUE STORY
Sitting in my mates house in Batchley by the pond, he used to deal a bit and had a lot of gear in the house as it was a Friday. 2 Police cars and a van pull up outside, we panic and start hiding the gear(it was a bedsit, not many places to be fair). Police steam up the path and we wait for the expected door bashing......but no, they go for the other door opposite...wtf. Turns out the guy opposite (Photographer(on dole!!)) was taking pictures of the local kids in his front room(playground and pond opposite so opportunity I suppose).
I actually lived above a pub "The Archers" if anyone is interested. I have said this before but the following sentence sums Redditch and it's inhabitants up :-
Sign on a roundabout made from a white sheet with big red letters on it :-
"Happy 30 th Birthday Grandma: Lots of love Witney, Britney, Dwayne, Wayne"
Just level the place ffs.
