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?

I wish!No, they're not even lazy enough to use the glottal stop, it's now all one word; goinpub.
Variations on the word are goincinema, goinshop and goinyours.
