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?

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.
