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?

campingdespite being able to afford to bugger off to parts foreign for my hollybobs, i still like nowt more than buggering off in my old VW van for a few days at a campsite in England... all human life, as they say, is here. You want to see a splendid mix of what (by the views on here) as commoners mixing it with the middle classes, i recommend Durdle Door campsite - like Stalin's holiday camp, perfectly aligned static caravans as far as the eye can see, tents, vans - and in the on site bar, an excellent chance of bingo winged gin queens hoarsely proclaiming their drunken love for any one and everyone that gets in arse-pincing range. Bloody marvellous.
On the other hand, there's caravan club sites; caravans with awnings like conservatories, complete with satellite dish, patio heaters, sofas, and on one memorable occasion a roll-up white picket fence. And it has to be said they seem less than keen on a bright orange VW turning up full of giggling occupants who proceed to get gigglingly (but quietly) drunk amongst them...
cnuts.
