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?

Tissue is pronounced tishoo.Only the most desperate social climbers and pucker-lipped bbc newsreaders pronounce it tiss-you. I'm guessing you're not a newsreader.
