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.
What stuff do you think is common?

butty/sandwich?I bought a "bacon butty" from a new Malaysian owned take-away a few weeks ago. He started to dribble HP sauce all over it and I told him no sauce. He says "Oh, you want bacon sandwich?" I said "no, it's called a bacon butty" "No it's not" he told me "bacon sandwich only bacon, bacon butty has HP sauce"
Which fucking retarded English tourist told him that?
