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?

"dunno haven't really thought about it"might be code for "fuck off you nosey bastard. I wrestle with the big questions as much as anyone but I really don't want to have to discuss them with you right now."
