This is a question 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?

I was at a Renaissance Fair this weekend
and my daughter echoed an observation that I have been saying for years (though not in front of her):

The amount of coverage of a costume varies inversely with the amount of things that really should be covered up.

After a 17 stone girl waddled past in a miniskirt slung around the lower half of her massive hips and a minimal halter, her belly wobbling in all directions at once, followed by an equally attractive man in a kilt and a chain mail shirt, she turned to me with a look of abject woe and said, "You know, there are some things I really do NOT need to see."

I couldn't agree more.

But worse than that were the minimally garbed people stumbling with half a beer sloshing in their hand and a cigarette waving wildly in the other as they tried to navigate their way to the privies. And entering them with said beer and cigarette.

Pure class, that...

Except
that this was in Maryland.

One guy had a full back tattoo and was wearing only boots and a kilt to show it off. It would have been impressive had he not been significantly overweight and ginger.

A tattoo of a woman riding through a forest is somewhat diminished by there being so many freckles that it looks like she's riding through a shit storm.

Fantastic. Badly chosen tattoos are a massive bugbear of mine!
