This is a question Common

Freddy 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?

Drinking beer from a can
in the street.

Extra common points are awarded if the drinker is en route to a pub. Couldn't you wait, for goodness' sake?

I don't see the problem with
Street-drinking.

It's like with the tube, the problem isn't people drinking, it's drunk people.
Big difference.

Extra points:
It's Saturday morning.
You have your top off.
You are pushing a pram and have a toddler by your side.

Grow up!

But
It's cheaper to have a couple of cans before you get there... innit!?

I do this all the time.

And to be extra common I take tins to the sevens football. Doesn't half give you a stitch though...

Even more points
for opening it just as you get off the bus, at 9.30 in the morning.

you sirs
have never been to a test match at Lords then.

you are only allowed to bring 2 cans of beer into the ground, most people buy 4packs, therefore trains heading towards London about 9-10am tend to be rammed with people merrily drinking away from the can from station to tube.

or...
on the bus when you board, at 6.30 in the morning - surely its more common to tut, and shrug yourshoulders, they're jsut jealous that they have to be sober during the day. Muhahaha
