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?

What is it about public toiletsThat can turn probably respectable people at home into total mongers with the social grace of an incontinent elephant at a tea party?
And yes - kids today have lost the art of drawing spunking cocks and writing rude graffiti on toilet walls.
