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.

My mateis a big, tattooed. long haired scary looking metaller. Pierced face, big scary dog, the works.
I spent an odd evening in his house about five years ago, drunk out our minds listening to classical music. Mozart, Bach, the works! It was ACE!
We both had a quiet cry at "Adagio for strings" by Samuel Barber.
