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?

What utter liberally minded tosh...
Do please enlighten me as to what constitutes a "middle class" person these days?
So by your reckoning any recognisable standards of acceptable behaviour or indeed the legal system as a whole is "narrow minded bollock" then eh? What!
And as for "chav culture", now there's a blatant misconception.
At least I've got a sense of humour and can remember to laugh when visiting this website. Now who's getting uptight?
