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?

FLKCFR
.
There used to be a practice in hospitals of putting down various acronyms for common problems. Most of these weren't flattering and, now that people can ask to see their own medical records, this isn't done anymore. Much.

Mrs Legless still refers to people who turn up on a Friday night with various broken bones as PFO - Pissed, Fell Over.

Any one of my favorite ones was FLKCFR
