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?

Sure sign of a pikey
Tucking tracksuit bottoms in socks
Nike shox
Those nasty grey jogging bottoms they all wear
clown necklaces
Dummies on children who can walk and talk
Children in pushchairs who are too big for them
Wearing a baseball cap ... at that stupid sharp angle
Owning a Saxo
walking around with a hand wedged down the front of your trousers
spitting
rockports
swearing at your kids in public
love bites
greasy hair, in a pony tail in a scrunchie

Rockports
Never saw the appeal of them- they're shit!

I had them suggested as a pair of shoes that'd last a decent length of time (I (gasp!) walk places rather than drive all the time. I'm also not the lightest of people (6ft/1.82m, 100 or so kg) So my shoes wear out quickly.

They lasted a month. ONE MONTH. Fucking expensive shoes, and they lasted a single month.
My £5 pair from Shoe Zone, bought in a soggy-socked moment of desperation, have so far lasted 6 months.

Also, good list.

I have greasy hair in a pony tail...











But I am a man... My mummy said so

I had
Rockport for the last 3 years of high school! Survived walking to and from school, and as much football as the weather would allow all year round. I think they're still in the wardrobe at my mum's, if I could fit into a 7 1/2 I might dig them out :(
