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?

...Wasn't having a go - just putting my 2p's worth in!
Hopefully people aren't as dense to believe the outdated stereotypes anymore (btw, what's Harry Enfield doing back on BBC1 at the moment? He really should give it up now...)
Talking of stereotypes, my northern counterparts at uni used to comment about my close proximity to Walford, merely because I live 20miles from London - this was obviously in jest, but I found it quite amusing!
