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?

Only in Lincoln
Chips with grated cheese on. Available at every chippy in the area.
Nuff said.
Muffintop not quite big and wobbly enough?
Have some more artery-hardening sat fat on your chips.
Plebs.

Cheesey chips?
Fucking gorgeous they are, especially with lashings of ketchup.

Right, that's dinner sorted!

hmm
Gorgeous are they? Maybe I should give them a whirl then. Just not in a chip shop I'll do it in the privacy of my own home.

Grated Cheese...
is ok but cheese sauce on chips is much better 'cause then it doesn't go all hard and inedible on top and all the chips get covered XD

Chippy top end of Carholme Road...
...does awesome cheesy chips for the record.

I find it hard to look down at what people are buying from a chip shop - after all its all deep-fried and full of fat. Except those who buy battered Mars bars, they're all wankers. :/

Poutine is cheese curds, not grated cheese.
And gravy.

Lovely.

Doesn't sound it, but it is.

When I moved from Liverpool, to Derbyshire,
I thought chips with cheese was a local curiosity.

Turns out it's common, but not universal.
