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?

Thats a very important Irish motto...if you want to live all your life hating pretty much everyone in the history of the world for deeds done that seemed like a good idea at the time.
How about "Quit living in the past as it will make you ignorant of the present. Forgive, forget and have a dance if the mood takes you". I prefer that old one that I just made up.

oh yesthat's a much better motto, but it'll never catch on with the corner boys.
