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?

Big ScreenPubs with those white banners out the front advertising 'Big Screen Sports', 'Live Sky Sports' and variations.
They might as well put 'This place is full of slopey-headed, shiny track suited, loud mouthed, sweary, tattooed, pissy lager drinking dole scum.'
Be a big banner though.

Blackboards outside pubsThese are either common or insufferably posh.
I do however like the one I saw the other night which had been inadequately cleaned and read:
"Live Sky Sports chef wanted"
