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?

What's all too common
is people using this QOTW to slag people off. While the genuine lazy, dole scrounging, jeremy Kyle type scum do really bother me, it's not really fair to slag people off because they have a different accent to you, or are poorer than you, or for where they live. Being poor doesn't make you common. I have some lovely friends who live on council estates, who go to work, whose children are impeccably behaved and who are just lovely all round decent members of society!

I thought QOTW was supposed to be a place to recount your amusing anectotes to lighten the mood of the reader, I haven't seen much in the way of funny this week, just nastiness and abuse.

Bring on Thursday, lets get some humor back in here!

Edit: Go the QOTW suggestions and click my suggestion to bring back the funnies!

Well
if you want a humurous anecdote, check out the first post on page 25.

*shamelessly whores post*

But I agree, this weeks question was very badly phrased and has lead to hardly any decent stories. There are a few, but they've been generally buried in a sea of shit bitchy remarks and unpleasant vitriol.

Oh no
it just proves you know how to have fun.

And that you can't be bothered to wait for it to cool down in the fridge.

Which proves you're dead classy.

Also
I rather liked your previous name, especially since you referred to your sprog and better sorry! other half as baby stella and mr stella.

You're right,
I think I will go back to using some kind of stella themed name, oh but what?
Suggestions on a postcard!

Edit: I wish I could pick a name and stick to one! It's just soooo hard! You should have seen the trouble I had naming my baby!

it's not hard...
just pick a name and stick to it.
then we'd know who we were dealing with...
