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?

Family ChristeningNot my family but a family that hailed from the Old Kent Road part of London. I was talking to the Grandmother of the baby (they must have thought i had money because i could pronounce words correctly) when all of a sudden two great hairy arms reached around the woman from behind and started playing with her boobs. Frightening anyway, then i realised the hands belonged to her brother. Cor Blimey Guv'nor...or something
