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?

Using words like poshI remember when my cousins came to visit. A friend mine used the word "profiteering". The responce from my cousins was "that's a well posh word!".
Then again they are from Great Yarmouth, so what else can you expect?
