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?

The sidhewas a very strange experience. I'm still trying to figure that one out.
Apparently there's a kind of firefly called a "blue ghost" that behaves like what I saw- but they're very rare, and only live in one small area in the southern US. What they would be doing in the Adirondack Mountains is beyond me.
The last time I saw them up there I was standing at the edge of a swamp. As I stood there a tiny blue pinpoint of light appeared less than three feet from my foot, and very slowly moved across the ground. I watched it for about five minutes, and so did my girlfriend.
Very strange and wonderful.
