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?

"Not classy enough" eating
Myself and a bloke from work were wandering a city centre for food prior to something that afternoon. Marvel at how I embellish my story with full details. Yes.
Anyway, wandering about, home to a small cafe type thing, just run by some middle aged woman, I think 'fine, we can grab a sandwich/toastie here, sorted.'
Other bloke however stated that he'd like to go somewhere "a bit more classy." Though I'm not entirely seeing what's wrong with this place, we wander off to look some more.
So where did he decide was "classy" enough for his tastes?
Subway.
Twunt.

Fuck that!
I'd much rather grab a toastie from a local cafe than the production line that is a Subway.
*everything* tastes the same from them. All like it's been chemically grown in vats. Even the bread :-\

My assessment would always be
who knows more about food out of:
a)middle aged woman
b)student who's been taught to use a sandwich toaster?
Not a tricky one for me, really.

Cafe. Always.
The best breakfast for years was in a tiny wee cafe in Whitby while we were waiting for the boat to be fixed so we could go fishing. Run by three lovely ladies, and the humble bacon sandwich became food of the gods in their expert hands.
Worst? Either Burger Trough or McSputum in the delightful retail experience that is Lakeside.

The only thing acceptable in Subway
is the Reggae Reggae chicken sub.
All the rest is vile.

I personally enjoy struggling to understand the
Lithuanian lady when she asks me if I'd like it "chis ant tosted?"
The secret with a properly good cynical Subway experience is to ask for EVERYTHING and then pick out the bits you don't like. This not only costs them the most money but also convinces you that they can't even make a fucking sandwich.
