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?

Yup.Whenever I'm in London I try to visit Harrod.
Seriously though, this is on a par with people who refer to 'Cliff Richards' or 'Victoria Woods' even when they're looking at something where that name is WRITTEN DOWN IN FRONT OF THEM!!
