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?

NamesSome weird and common names mentioned so far, but for me the one that stands out in memory was 3 years ago when I was an apprentice in my previous company of employment, as there was a chap there called (I kid thee not) 'Rocket Shoulders' who was late 50's/early 60's and always had a pipe in his mouth. Legend.
