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'm Northern, doing Missionary work in the South.It is a scone (rhymes with cone). But if I want to ask for one down here, then I must say scone (rhymes with gone) or else I am met with "a what love?".
However, if you should stop on the M4 services near Aldermaston and ask the delightfully pretty dark haired girl on the till for a scone (cone) or a scone (gone), you will get blank looks. She only speaks Polish.
So, I ask for a table dance instead. (I live in hope)
