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?

Land Rovers ftw!Unless driving an obviously British (sorta) car will get you shot over there.
Curious coincidence; on the very day of Sep 11 2001 before the Dreadful Deed was committed, a chap called at my office and handed me the keys to a brand new Landrover Discovery parked out front.
He had orders to deliver this brand new car to someone else with my surname a few doors up.
And like the bloody honest fool I am, I handed the keys back saying "I believe there has been some kind of mistake".
Muppet.
