Common
Freddy 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?

Been done, but I care not
Football, football supporters, football supporter's chants.
It is both common in the sense that many people in the country (nay the world!) like footie and also in the sense that I think that the majority are scummers.
I've not been in London enough to witness it, but I saw the police closed off a feckin underground station to ferry the burger munching, 'singing', cuntish mob through on Saturday afternoon.
Twats to a man.

Oh don't get me started!
I use to work at the local football ground, honestly, the home fans should have been in a cage! Never seen anything like it! all soaked in beer, minus their shirts in the sleet and snow.. covered in horrible tattoos..
The club can't afford us now they've been relegated again, so I'm at the rugby club now, its a different world!

So true
I went to a football match on Saturday for the first time since 1986; my excuse being that it was a business meeting that just happened to be in an executive box when the match (Oxford v Burton Albion) was on. Waiting in the car park beforehand watching the freaks of humanity milling around with their burgers in their mouths was bad enough. Having to do it whilst wearing my best suit just rubbed ketchup in the wound. The only good thing is thinking just how many more weirdos would be in the town centre on a Saturday afternoon if footy didn't exist.
