This is a question Common

Freddy 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?

Wow...
...I know I've been away for awhile, but I've never seen any post go down quite as badly as that one.

Thing is, who can honestly say who's won here? If that's an honest statement of his view then yup, he's most probably a shocking wanker and urgently needs this to be pointed out for him. If that's the case, well done us.

However, it could be that this is just some tripe designed to get a rise out of people - seen that before and even bitten on it once or twice myself. If that's the case then he's done remarkably well so well done him.

Either way though, reading it still makes me think 'fuck off you cunt', and that's coming from a confirmed rant-merchant like me.
