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?

The opposite of common:I think my children may be posh. A few minutes ago, whilst making their bed (clean sheets and all), my 7 yr old came to me and very calmly said, "Momma, we are having issues."
She couldn't get the first corner to stay put while tucking the other 3 corners.
Perhaps living in a crap apartment that just happens to be in one of the better neighborhoods so the kids can go to the best schools wasn't my brightest idea. They appear to be picking up the language of the neighborhood. I fear they will be featured in a QOTW called "Far Too Posh" 10 years from now.
