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?

fucking brilliantIt wasn't a one night stand, she'd been dating the guy for a couple of weeks.
She was 12!
I haven't got cancer, so she'll be alright.
Love it.

If you google "tracy holt sam holt 13"Then you'll get a link to the story with a picture...
The mother is a definite case of the 1850s (looks 50, but dresses like she's 18) and the daughter is a complete chavvy tart (mucho makeup and sneering attitude). Having said that, I'm sure a fair few people would end up giving it a go if all it costs was a WKD and a pack of marlboro lights.
That's the real shame of the piece - a girl who could be a pretty, happy and have a bright future being railroaded down a path that will lead to her no doubt being a mother before she's 18, living on benefits for life and losing any respect society might have had for her. I don't blame the daughter - she's 13 and, like all teenagers, wants to rebel and do naughty things. The fact her mother can't be arsed to be a parent is the problem - all teenagers want to rebel, but if no-one gives a toss about them, then they will act out more and more - they are waiting for someone to care enough to try and stop them.
Shame, really - I don't think she's stupid, but I do think she's being left to run riot for the sake of not having a parent who wants the responsibility of raising a child properly.
