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?

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!
