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?

On the subject of ropey grammar.."sat" when you mean "sitting".
"I was sat there."
Oh, were you really? and I suppose whilst you were sat there, you were watched the telly...
and then you were listened to Otis Redding singed "Sat on the dock of the bay"
It's not difficult is it? I used to do it myself and then realised. It took me a couple of days to break the habit.
