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?

bingothis isnt from me but my grandad! bless him!
according to him, at his local bingo fat birds with terrible taste in clothing are common. he told me today that:
" there's this one lass in particular who has a tummy like a half loaf of breed from somerfield" and "wears a hideous shiney pink top which reminds me of a knackered roller blind, it never stays down."
i never knew he had such a great way with words!
