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?

Why..Never realised there were so many people from Brizzle on here! I grew up in Clifton, but now live in St Pauls (the nicest bit, honest!). Neither of which I'd describe as common - St Pauls has it's problems but now Harvey Nicks has opened just over the road I'm looking forward to being offered shoplifted Prada instead of the usual joints of meat from Tesco.
