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?

Beneath commonIn a village of commoners we had one family that were beneath your average common scum.
They had a patch of carpet for show at the front door and the living room was wall papered with copies of the Racing Post.
It was generally acceptable behaviour to hate them as collectively they were a proper cunt soup.
