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?

I personally enjoy struggling to understand the
Lithuanian lady when she asks me if I'd like it "chis ant tosted?"
The secret with a properly good cynical Subway experience is to ask for EVERYTHING and then pick out the bits you don't like. This not only costs them the most money but also convinces you that they can't even make a fucking sandwich.
