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?

That don't bother getting dressed and spend the day in a dressing gown. Answering the door in a dressing gown in the middle of the afternoon.
Is that common or just blatant laziness?

So...
when you're hanging around the house all day on a rare day off, you're not allowed to be warm and comfortable? If I haven't got any plans to go out that day/night, then yeah, I mooch around in pajamas and dressing gown. Though I really only wear the bottoms, the top is usually a hoodie or something.
Though it is worth mentioning that I do get washed and dressed into fresh pajamas when I get up, and I definitely get dressed if someone else is there or coming around.

it can sometimes mean
that the boiler is knackered, you've got no heat and the dressing gown is being worn over trousers and a jumper to keep warm.

The only reason I'd answer the door in my pj's or dressing gown
would be that I was hanging around the house naked and someone rang the doorbell.
I think that's slightly classier than the alternative in that situation.
And be honest, how many of us adults actually wear pj's to bed? They're made for lounging around in.
