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?

Guilty by association...
Your Honour,

I agree with most of those
however some people like myself are allergic to chlorine and therefore need to use shampoo and soap in the swimming pool shower as by the time they get home are red raw and itching like crazy. If they're doing it before they get in, however, I think I would just leave.
