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?

the sweaty bum crack...that is Shepherd's Bush Green.
In particular the bus stop on one corner of it which is the hangout of choice for discerning crackheads and/or alcoholics, where not once but twice I have been asked to part with my cash pounds for sex.
One was a withered-up, haggard, toothless old bint who seemed quite upset when I said no and asked me if I was gay.
Yeah, cos that's the only reason a - ahem - young man in his prime would turn down the opportunity to go within a country mile of your (presumably) withered-up, haggard old lady bits, ffs.
The second was by a somewhat younger, but similarly toothless, alchie who thought she'd chance her arm at making a quick buck.
Shepherd's Bush Green - it makes my nose wrinkle up, and not just cos of the smell.

Is that the bus stop by the church?I used to live in the basement next door to that church, which offered the kindly service of a soup kitchen. This resulted in our "garden" being kindly serviced with effluence and empty high-strength cider cans. That said, I was living with a very good friend during the .com boom, and I loved that flat.
