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?

Youobviously come from a common family where your dad never did carpentry to keep the house up and your mum never knitted jumpers to keep you warm. Ears are just pencil holders in disguise and having the right upbringing would make you realise that. You must have come from a council estate.
