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?

I am a Yankee, yeehaw
May I respectfully request to be excluded from 'all Americans'? I know how to use a knife and fork as well as eat food without waking the dead. Also, I have avoided The Fat, The Closet Racism, The White Socks and Cheerleading.

Please?

Holy crap & fuckmungery
I'm a common person and I didn't even realise it :)
Either you are a twabadger or you have been dragged up well innit.
Just to clarify - I'm grade 7 cello player, ninja who loves nufink better than torturing poor young men. I'd type more but I'm polite, innit?

Impetigo? Its hardly a lifestyle choice.

Oh my!
I completely agree! Once I went into a restaurant only to find they had pictures of the food on the menu! I was shocked and apalled to say at the least, my family and I were straight out of the door!

Spimfy boy
My cousins are Welsh. As is ancrenne.

Mind you, they are from Northern stock, so that probably makes it alright.

And the resident Loon is a Merkin, and he's cool.

Agree wholeheartedly about the trackie bottoms tucked into socks though. MY GOD what are they thinking?

y'know what's common?making lists that fill space.
i agree with everything you said,except..
'eating crisps'

Against my better judgement
I agree with nearly all of this, in particular the frozen peas. The only acceptable frozen food.

Can I add the American habit of calling a team/sportsman "winningest" as in "He is the winningest pitcher since.. blah blah blah?"

How has that been allowed into use?

The welsh?
