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?

It's good that you're proud..My Nan lives in Chalvey - but that sounds worse than Slough..
I live in Gerrards Cross (i'm not posh though) but no one ever knows where that is so I just say "Slough"
