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?

I don't give a shit eitherI eat with just a fork where possible.
But it's good to know what to do so that if you find yourself sat at a table with posh people, they don't all think that you're a common oik. Though I expect they can still tell.
