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?

University life
I'm from the South East orginally but studying at Leeds University in my first year, I'm currently sharing a flat with a Brummie, a girl from the west country, and a "lad" from Newcastle so don't talk to me about fucking commoners.

How awful for you, having to mix with people who have regional accents.
You'll probably be whinging whenever the university actually tries to make you do some work.
