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?

Why so unfair?The first line "I have a problem" really diffuses most of the negative comments, as it's clearly an imaginary rant list, rather than a deep and meaningful statement.
I don't think this sounds much worse than many other posts, especially as it comes across to me as a bit in jest.
Give the poor sod a break.
