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?

Tate Modern!I feckin love the place, always go whenever I'm in London, especially for the Dalis and the Jackson Pollock pics they have. People tell me it's "Snobby" as well! Mind, you should have heard the chuntering when I went to Rome for the weekend. These are the same people that moan that European, (ie white) culture is being "Swamped" I give in! there'll be no social cohesion whilst this persists dammit!
