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?

I hear yaI try very hard to take pride in my property, keep the garden tidy...and several of the other people on this estate do, too, only to have it all wrecked by a couple problem families who are living here because they'd otherwise be homeless. The council is paying private landlords to house them.
We had a nappy land in our garden. Upstairs doesn't seem to understand what a bin is. It doesn't matter how much - or how little - time and money you have, DON'T THROW YOUR RUBBISH IN OTHER PEOPLE'S GARDENS.
