This is a question 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?

Part 2
7. Women over the age of 35 who dance with their arms in the air. You don't look sexy, you look like a nasty old scrubber, keep your arms by your side.
Nothing on Earth will prevent them from looking like their Nan dancing once the age of 35 is reached, it's one of those activities that betrays the participant no matter how carefully she has layered on the Polyfilla or dressed up. You can see those over 35 at a glance when looking at a room full of dancing people. The ones with their arms in the air need to be quietly taken to one side and made to sit down, they are on the verge of blowing a gasket and wetting themselves, or worse, embarrassing their family and friends.
NOT sexy, NOT Madonna, just COMMON.

8. The same category of woman above who, whilst meandering to the taxi rank at 3am, simply MUST demonstrate their pole-dancing skills on the posts holding the bus shelter up.
FFS woman, behave, your kids would be mortified.....
Oh no, her daughter is holding her handbag and braying with laughter. God help us all.

9. People who think it is classy to drink the nastiest, weakest, cheap piss about simply because it is Mexican. With a bit of fucking lime in the bottle. Yes, I'm talking about Corona, to Mexicans, the equivilent of Tesco Value Lager.
Eeeh, in my day Corona was green fizzy pop delivered by a lorry to your house. (Well, not our house, because we were erm......common. Shit.)

Amorous Badger
Just about to post something similar. Over 35 shouldn't do xyz? Get stuffed.

Damn straight.
I'm 33, am I likely to stop drinking till I fall over because it upsets some uptight nerd?

Fuck no, if anything, I'll send the missus over to sit on his knee.

"Uptight nerd"?
Yep, that's me he he.

I'm 38 and 3 quarters and still wake up face down in a pool of my own puke (well, I think it was my own), despite many long years desperately trying to stay on the wagon and alas, always falling off in spectacular style. The last occasion found me on holiday, in Greece, doing just that, helping a stray cat lap it up just for added effect. (And fucking hell did I know about it for 2 days afterwards, the Hangover of Doom). Nothing to be proud of really, in fact, DEAD COMMON. I'm dreading watching "Britain's Most Common Scum on Hols Abroad" on ITV3 sometime next year because it may well feature me. I just hope I wasn't singing "Eng-er-lund, Eng-er-lund" before I collapsed. Now that really would be a bridge too far.

Incidentally, will your Mrs wear a skimpy top and then take offence when I look at her, proclaiming to the world "Eurgh, this dirty bastard's gawping at me tits"? Go on, please.

No, in fact I say
Do What Thou Wilt....

The question was "what do you think is common?"
(, Sat 18 Oct 2008, 12:33, closed)
Oh...
I like Corona. Plus crappy pubs can't muck about with it unlike what they have on draught.
