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?

Just thought of storyfrom last December. I was waiting for a bus at the clock tower (I live in Brighton) and overheard a conversation between mother and stroppy teenager.
"Do you want us to have a nice Christmas?! Well do ya?! Do you want us to have a nice family Christmas?!!" Mother bellows at the top of her lungs. They were not even that close to me but I could hear every syllable.
Teenage son hangs head, shuffles and probably mumbles a yes.
"Well then stop being such a fucking arsehole!!!"
Laughed my arse off. Too many things wrong and ironic with that whole situation to point out. Love it when people feel the need to scream like banshees and argue in public.
