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?

So trueI 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.
