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?

"guys"One of my colleagues was told off by a customer when he asked "what can i get you guys" apparantly that is not correct decorum when speaking to customers (we're a cafe not a five star restaurant)
Although another friend was told by his friends "not to speak that poncy southern language". when he asked them "what's up guys?"
So i guess using the word "guys" falls some
where inbetween.
