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?

Undying loveFella in a Sydney bottlo* wearing a singlet** which enabled me to see his tattoo - the classic heart with "Narelle" through it on a scrolly banner thing. Narelle was crossed out. Under the heart was Charlene. That too was crossed out and under that was Raylene. Raylene was still current.
Names have been changed because I have forgotten them.
* Off-license
** Vest, but not necessarily underwear.
