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?

Ignorance is bliss eh?There's a right way and a wrong way to do everything. Those that choose to get it wrong must be idiots, just as those that don't know are ignorant. Why is it that the rest of Europe know how to behave socially and we don't? It's got nothing to do with money or aspiration, some of the most vulgar people are wealthy. Sadly there appears to be a growing section of society in the UK with an attitude problem and woe betide anyone who points this out! You get killed these days by pissed-up aggressive chavs, and yes it does fucking matter!!
