CommonFreddy 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 yesIf you make it an almagation of your names it will prove to the world that you are considerably, CONSIDERABLY, rich-er than them.
What's wrong with socialising with family members? I have several cousins the same age as me, who live in the same district and like the same music, films and pubs. We naturally have a lot in common. Is it classier if I pretend not to know them?
