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.

“From Obscurity, The simplest wit can rise to become ubiquitous beauty”
*****The Estate Agent Chain. I have a property portfolio that I am currently selling
Sometimes 'common' is just a misjudged perspective.
Sometimes not.
