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?

"Uptight nerd"?Yep, that's me he he.
I'm 38 and 3 quarters and still wake up face down in a pool of my own puke (well, I think it was my own), despite many long years desperately trying to stay on the wagon and alas, always falling off in spectacular style. The last occasion found me on holiday, in Greece, doing just that, helping a stray cat lap it up just for added effect. (And fucking hell did I know about it for 2 days afterwards, the Hangover of Doom). Nothing to be proud of really, in fact, DEAD COMMON. I'm dreading watching "Britain's Most Common Scum on Hols Abroad" on ITV3 sometime next year because it may well feature me. I just hope I wasn't singing "Eng-er-lund, Eng-er-lund" before I collapsed. Now that really would be a bridge too far.
Incidentally, will your Mrs wear a skimpy top and then take offence when I look at her, proclaiming to the world "Eurgh, this dirty bastard's gawping at me tits"? Go on, please.
