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?

As far as I know, even those who are thoroughly looked after,
by their rich mummy and daddy, who decided to take up a career in one of the highly paid professions, eg, doctor, lawyer, etc,probably most definitely went to university to get their qualifications. As far as I know, universities do not offer free accommodation to their students, therefore you can be wise in the knowledge that the extremely successful lawyer driving down the road in that Bugatti Veyron is a bit of a commoner because he/she once had to pay rent for the student accommodation while he/she studied Law. And I guarantee that he/she is better than minky.

Good point...
Also, I rent my home, because I could get a 15th century coaching in on a private estate (i.e part of the manor house's land) with four bedrooms for what a mortgage on a two-bedroom semi was. Having said that, we're only still renting at the moment as we can get the landlord to fix the wiring, etc, at their cost. We're aiming to buy the place in the next year or so.
