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?

clumsinessPeople should excuse light clumsiness with "whoops-a-daisy"
Light clumsiness such as stumbling on a doorstep or bumping into someone.
Not heavy clumsiness such as losing a limb to agricultural machinery or dropping a tray of anthrax and sarin.
