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?

oh no-sersI'm still waiting to get that phrase in at some point. Not because I'm a minger or anything, but because I never remember to do it!
As for "scruffy nan" - Now we'll have to change our name for her! I can never look at her again and think that she's a big walking fadge or something. Similarly we could call her "Dirty Grandma" but now they all sound like genital-euphemisms :S
Doh! Damn you! :D
