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?

Nothink...I'll openly admit to being as middle class as they come, and I don't like to think of people as being beneath me on account of their behaviour or upbringing. However, people who say 'nothink' instead of 'nothing' really annoy me, and I can't help but think of them as idiots.
