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?

Scon or scone?
The most obvious thing that distinguishes a posh person from a commoner... Whether they pronounce 'scone' like sCON or sCONE. (Just for the record, it's sCONE, you b3tards!)
Also, my little sister calls the computer room the 'office'. What the deuce?!

Hmm
try posting something worthwhile then, if you think you can do any better.
Oh, I've just had a look at your 'best answers to questions'. It appears that you can't.
Stick with /talk. It suits you better.

It appears that you can't think of anything in response to those questions other than banal shite.
'My friend will only eat muffins and ice cream and pringles'. Yeah, knock yourself out. Literally, pet.

That doesn't prove how it's pronounced, just how people think it should be.
My point is it doesn't matter, and considering people to be 'common' because of how they pronounce a word is narrow minded.

Going by your reckoning it seems opinion isn't allowed either. More to the point, I couldn't care less about the pronunciation of 'scone' but I felt a certain duty to put down in writing what a stuck up piece of shit you are. Oh and begging your /talk buddies to "fuck him up" because you can't do it yourself was a tad funny. Bit sad when you think about it though...

You know when people put in their profiles exactly how wacky and zany their personality is? Tis a sure-fire sign that they are completely 100% not whats being purported. Still full marks for effort though!

Lol you psycho-spastic the whole page is dedicated to making her look as zany as possible - it says a lot when people have to point out such 'qualities' of their own.

Pulling the "my mums dead" while having "mum does me washing" in your profile was funny as hell.
Also for a guy who claims to have "lost the character trait of giving a shit" you seem to be giving a shit.
You're right about being a bit of an arsehole though.
CSS doesn't make your profile invisible.

You throw a mahoosive self righteous wobbler, while over using the term "wobble". You post that your mum is dead, while having a qotw from last week stating that you're basically freeloading off her. And you also "don't give a fuck", yet:
"I couldn't care less about the pronunciation of 'scone' but I felt a certain duty to put down in writing what a stuck up piece of shit you are."

/momentary seriousness
If you are being genuine, (and I'm beginning to thing that you are), you have a poor grasp of tongue in cheek humour.
You also seem to take things more seriously than is mentally healthy. Step back for a moment, and take a nice objective look at what you've written on this thread. Someone posted a comment on a board, and you just wanted to call them a psycho-spastic. Honestly? If you have a difficult time with people taking the piss, perhaps you should need a little break from the net, just till you get your head sorted out.
Now I'm more than happy for your seeming spiral of self destruction to go on, but I just thought I'd better check first.
