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?

Snips and SnailsAt the risk of stating the very obvious, the not wearing of underwear by skanks in short skirts--Briney Spears springs to mind--not only do we not really want to see your hoo-hoo--and least not after the first 30 incidents-- but 1) you are ruining perfectly good leather seats in cars with your snail trails and 2) as you go out to your clubs and bars and other hangouts, aren't you the tiniest bit worried about what you are sitting in? Oh, wait. Brit-Brit famously walked into a gas station bathroom BAREFOOT. That's the equivalent of wading through a shallow cesspool.
Also, a shout-out to the posters on subsidized housing. I worked a year in a Federal office and you will see commonness there that is actually so far sunk beyond commonness it doesn't have a name.
