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?

Army Surplus shirts....As an alternative minded teenager in late nineties and early noughties, I was particularly fond of wearing an army surplus shirt with German flags on each sleeve (the modern German flag, I'm not into Nazi memorabilia).
After owning said shirt for a few years, I plucked it from the drawer one day to discover bare, dark green sleeve where the flags used to be. My mother dearest had decided that it looked common, and spent about an hour unstitching and removing the patches while I was out.
