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?

Hmmm
Also Wiccan, wearing a discreet pentagram necklace under my shiurt, along with two tiny pentacle earrings and a silver pentacle ring on my right hand. Does this make me common?
I understand what you mean about people jumping on the bandwagon, but tarring the genuinely religious with the same brush is slightly harsh in my view.
Although I do agree that my friend's mum scares me when she comes over with a 6-inch cross hanging over her chest like a nun. But I wouldn't say that's common - more ostentatious.
