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?

Oh yes, we did that too,only I was the Mum dragging the family along.
One time we went to New Quay in Wales in the last week of October and when we arrived all the kids jumped in the freezing sea with their clothes on, and it took the rest of the week to dry their togs out.
All the attractions were preparing to close down for the winter and would let in the younger kids free. The beaches were empty and the kids were safe to roam.
Happy days.
