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?

Mate of mine used to have dreads and a tweed suit
and he spoke in a middle class accent because he was middle class. He liked marijuana and books. I liked marijuana and books also but never had the courage to dread my lovely ebony locks. I miss them. Hair is for youth, books are for life. Dreads are for anyone. Not just rastas.
