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?

That perspex coach has grisly connotations.I seem to remember that it (or one like it) was built for a dying child and then used as the hearse at her funeral.
Read about this in one of my mother's magazines. The ones she does the puzzles in before I get them, grr.
