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?

I use
"Do you mind if..." quite often.

And
You're quite right.

'Do you mind' avoids all of the pitfalls associated with 'may I' vs 'can I'.

But it still makes you sound like a waiter...

would it not be easier
to make it a statement of fact rather than an offer?

"any moment now i'm going to blow my load over your jubblies/baps/jugs/norks*"

*or other such zoo-ish derivations of the fine mammary
