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?

Anyone seen this anywhere else?
The amount of posts here where people are saying 'this must be a (insert name of place the poster has obviously never been out of) thing but...is really common' is unbelievable. Most of these stories can be seen anywhere you care to look!! But! Has anyone else seen people walking round, or even out and about obviously a fair distance from home in pyjamas? I visit a fair few cities but i've only seen this in Liverpool, it's as if they actually change into them to go out shopping! As far as i can see it's truely localised.

Pajamas in the Street
Come to New Zealand, for all of your inappropriate pajama-in-the-street action!
I tell you, since I have been living here, I have seen more saggy, stained velour than I can cope with, usually at six in the evening in Countdown (like a more chavvy Asda)

Last night...
... a young lady came into the off-licence in a part of Cambridge - dressed in her pyjamas. She had 3 friends with her who were all dressed in proper clothing. Why? Just why?
