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?

Further to what rattus said (two posts below)......really common Australians have the annoying habit of saying "ehh" (pronounced as the letter A) on the end of sentences. Especially in Queensland (the "deep north").
The other 'common' habit here is to add the word 'but' to the end of a sentence: e.g. "It was funny but" or "It was a good weekend but".
But what? You stupid chavs (or as they are known here "bogans").
