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?

Now you look silly.
You've managed to insult 3 towns/cities, a fair few old people, an entire dialect, most restaurants in the UK, selected groups with pride in a sporting team, people who might not have enough money for a big fancy wedding, but love each other anyway and probably 90% of mobile phone owners to boot.

.
Towns/cities- yes i've spent extensive time in all 3 each ranks highly on the common-o-meter

Old people - how?

A dialect - which one?

Wearing a football shirt at, and on the way to and from a match is acceptable if you are a supporter. Even when supporting your team in the pub. But at work? When fetching your kid from school? in court?

A lot of old people go caravanning.
I was referring to the scones thing with the dialect.

And whereas there are certain places where a football shirt is inappropriate, your original post does not make this clear.

errr right
Decking looks ace in the right garden, especially Japanese style gardens. Certainly better than rusty cars, kneehigh grass and dog poo.

Most modern mobile phones come equiped with cameras whether they are used or not.

Saying "pardon?" is infinately more polite than "what?"

And like most of the posters here - you are confusing common with "living on a budget" or "not having loads of disposable income to spend on lavish weddings or holidays to non popular destinations"

Pardon
Actually, saying pardon is particularly naff because it was originally used by those trying to sound all posh by employing french when a good Anglo Saxon "what" is perfectly correct. Same with lounge and toilet - all used by the Hyacinth Bouquet types who reckon french is posher.

Toilet
pronounced twa-let is twattish and Bucket-ish.
Otherwise it's a name for a handbasin that was hijacked to mean the same as lavatory by the train companies in the late 1800s.

Pronouncing it toil-ett really isn't posy.

What I can't stand, however, is Creme Anglais instead of Custard. I mean even the French don't call it Creme Anglais!

Haha you're a massive cunt.
What a retard. So you're common if you're not religious, and don't want a wedding in a church or wherever?
(, Sun 19 Oct 2008, 18:07, closed)
Not so
You don't have to get married in a church, you can have a civil ceremony in hotels and that

Are you some kind of cunt?
I have an aquarium, a very nice camera phone and I like salad cream.
And I'm well fucking posh
(, Sun 19 Oct 2008, 18:22, closed)
my responce to you - = u r cunt
Salad Cream - try calling me pregnant missus common, she would rip your head off

Manchester
Basingstoke - what the fuck are you on
Sauce bottles on the table - tell that to the greasy spoons, nando's. and hundreds of restaurants

Watford nowt wrong with it - well apart from travelling the A42 on a pushbike, so not really watfords fault (it has elton johns backing)

Making Rollups with just tobacco in them. errm that was there original purpose dumb arse.

Myspace - i dont think a lot of unsigned bands who have been signed through myspace would aggree, or do you prefer mylol

Caravans, when they cost a packet there not common.

Kebabs. if you cant enjoy a kebab you sire are the common one (Members of parliment eat them)

Decking. meaning your shit

Geting married in a registry office. what about people who dont believe in church, my missus for one hates is not religous and gettin married in one would seem hypocritcal for her, plus registry offices are better

Camera Phones, well buy a motofone F1

Eating while walking. - tell that to busy people who dont get a proper lunch break.
(, Sun 19 Oct 2008, 18:28, closed)
I M CUNT - yeah really?
People who threaten to "rip your head off" are common

Greasy spoons and nando's - "officially not common" says Hooker1uk

Still smoking rollups when prepackaged cigarettes are avaiable = common

Arctic monkeys, Lily allen and Kate nash all came from Myspace didn't they - very popular with the commoners

Having enough to money to buy a caravan does not exclude you from being common. A lot of common people have loads of money. Poor does not equal common.

If you eat a kebab in a restaurant, that's not necessarily common. Members of parliament include John Prescott. I bet he eats kebabs.

"Decking. meaning your shit" - I honestly don't know what you mean by this - either meaning "I am shit" which would of course should be "Decking meaning you're shit" or meaning "my shit" - I don't shit decking, maybe common people do, but i don't. My colon is not long enough to accommodate 10ft long planks. Or maybe you have other ideas after your "missus" has "ripped my head off"

"what about people who dont believe in church, my missus for one hates is not religous and gettin married in one would seem hypocritcal for her, plus registry offices are better" - There are better places to get married than a registry office which desn't involve religion - a hotel, or a historic building. I agree - Registry offices are better, just because you say so.

Maybe you could film your wife ripping my head off on your camera phone and then post the high quality footage on your myspace site.

Why don't you get a proper lunch break. Do you work in Kwik-fit?

You really are a nob.

why would i use my camera phone
to watch her rip your head off,
would prefer to use my panasonic HD camcorder.
even though my cameraphone has a higher megapixel rate than hi definiton viewing

i dont get a proper lunch break as i prefer to work, after all breaks are unpaid so i do other bits while everyone else is on break.

and if myspace is so common wait until you discover facebook. p.s. mylol may be more your thing (pedobear lives there as does a high amount of non b3tan members of 4chan)

p.s. quickfit, why would i repair cars, i get paid fuckloads to write in a book 5 times a day. and tweak machines on as 30 min lunch break.

p.p.s. you realy are a fuckwit
edit, i put a point of view for people who dont like church. you wanna make it personal i will quite happily show you how to insert decking into your anus. while /talk film it

I love this post and the previous one. Whilst I don't agree with bits of it, you have hit certain nails square on the head.
