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?

hey!on occasion i hold my knife like a pen! it's particulary useful when you're eating in situations with little elbow room
what alternative do you prefer to pardon? if you misunderstand someone it's much better to use 'pardon' than the common 'wot?'

Apparently "what?" is the preferred term.Surprised me too. I'm putting my faith in Schott for that particular factoid. I seem to recall (though may be mistaken) that "toilet" is preferable over "lavatory"
