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?

ArgosAs in the catalogue shop. From the Lizzie Duke bling to the plastic garden furniture, it screams common. Makes Lidl look like Waitrose. (I'd originally said Harrods instead of Waitrose but on reflection the Egyptian tat and Di and Dodi memorabilia means Harrods make Argos look like Harvey Nichols)
