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?

CertainlyI currently enjoy a page or three of Bleak House while defecating. That would be pretty balanced, but thee fact that I bought the book from Aldi and it has an illustrated cover tips me into the realms of white-trash, I fear.
