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?

Well...
Between having a family, keeping my job ticking over and looking for the next, in amongst the hobbies, the writing and painting, etc, I don't have that much time to consider whether various deities had much to do with it.
