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?

Random List Number One
1. People that drink a common drink. If you drink the standard weak lager such as Carling/Tennents etc then Vodka and Coke I tend to guess you're either not very imaginative or common. Or both.

2. Tv dinner trays in the 80s, although does that make it worse now?

3. White socks with black shoes in public (although private is vaguely pointless) Black socks are the same price, what's the problem?

4. I heard a rumour that a guy my sister knew had a shellsuit back in the day (feel free to use said phrase in new rant) which was pretty bad. It was a "Neighbours" shellsuit, yes as in the aussie soap.

5. Buying "The Sun" every day. It's ok to have a peek to mock in fairness.

6. Speaking up about how great the following are: Chris Moyles

Yes that'll do

Vodka and coke
seriously, what's wrong with it so long as you're in a bar and use the coke to mask most of the godawful paintstripperishness of the cheap vodka they use?

At home it's chilled, straight Ketel One all the way though... You shouldn't mix that with anything except more Ketel One.

Not so much vodka and coke
But paired alongside cheap standard lager it is common. Not as in it makes people riff raff but it's popular enough to make people look boring.
If it as paintstripperishness as you say, why drink it?
Just gives you a less plesant taste in your mouth when the hangover starts.
