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?

O GAWD I'm getting old, but when I ride public transport I do not want to hear:
A family screaming match.
An pensioner describing her medical symptoms, down to the exact color of the pus coming out.
A rundown of the soap-opera between you and your babymama/daddy.

a man passed me on the street who was telling his friend all about how he had to go pick up his herpes medication.
