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?

I'm divorced now, thank dog, but when I was married I could barely stand a family meal with my then father-in-law ... can't imagine grabbing the turkey baster and ... I can't even finish!
I'd put money on the fact they just stuck the turkey baster and pyrex bowl in the dishwasher too.
