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?

Oh, I dunno...
Having a producer called Dr Mengeler, to compete with Dr Dre, would probably be worse...

or maybe...
Opening a chain of fast food outlets in the Southern US states called "Kunta Kinte's Chicken Georgia".
