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?

Seeyon DeeyonLike your nan (hoohoo), my girlfriend's mum thinks she is posh despite her Dorset farming background.
She also either thinks she can pronounce things correctly in French despite not speaking a word of it, or she assumes that nobody else does, therefore thinking she's getting away with it: A while ago, she told me how she loves to listen to Celine Dion, or "Seeyon Deeyon".
She will only buy food in M&S.
"You really can't get a decent bottle of wine for under £6 can you?", she said to me a while ago. Silly, stuck up thick bat.
I'm sure her lovely daughter was adopted.
