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?

An old friend............Wasn't common but his parents were but in that kind of "We know we are common so we are going to try really hard to make people think we aren't but people just think we are even more common" way
They were called Bernard and Daphne and came from a lower middle class background but now they were older decided that their names would be pronounced "Burn-hard and Darfanny" they called their three children Barnaby, Alicia and Berenice.
She made Barnaby leave our band when we were about 15 because we wouldn't tell her what the lyrics to Nirvana's Polly meant.
She spoke like she had a silver enema up her ass but just came across as very common and trying to hard not to be.
