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?

i have previously mentioned 1stmrsblaireausfatherswhore...in a previous post (please forgive my luddite nature and lack of ability in the cyberworld so i has did no linkyting) i made reference to the mistress of the father of my first/previous wife, and a rather unfortunate and feral outburst of which i was the rather drunk and stunned victim...
the woman in question (carol is her name) was thoroughly pissed and thoroughly pissed-off at me as i was able to remain cogent and lucid in the face of alcohol and heavy emotion (the presence of myself and the daughter of her partner... my wife).
she screamed at me...in her glorious Ashington accent..."well, ahhh divint haarv thu benifit uv ahhh yoonivorsitee ehdyukayshun"
and i replied that i didn't either, but i had dropped out of poli twice...
now that's what i call common!

Ah, the Ashington accent'tis a glory to behold and no mistake.
It gets thicker and more incomprehensible the further you venture up the high street. Generally from the town square where Wilkinsons is and up towards Woolworths it's a bit of a mixture, but once you cross the road it's like being in another dimension - a dimension filled with mismatched sports wear and pasty crumbs.
I've probably bumped into this woman and not realised...
