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?

I am from common Essex stockPrince Charles is talking to his mummy and asks about a forthcoming engagement in Essex. He is not sure what headware to take with him, but HRH Mummy gives guidance.
The following week he travels to a lovely little town called Braintree in Essex and arrives at the engagement in his gaz guzzling vehicle. He steps out of the car, with a piece of dead fox millinery – tail hanging down the back like Davy Crockett.
The crowd go into a frenzy, and throw sticks, stones and items from his Duchy of Cornwall range of expensive goods for the common man. He returns to his vehicle, quite distressed and unsure of exactly what happened.
When he returns to the palace, he asks HRH why did she recommend that he wore a piece of vulpine millinery?
She said “You will never be King silly boy. I said “Braintree in Essex – where the fox hat?” “
(say it out loud like the queen would)
