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?

likeI dont know if anyones found this in their neck of the woods. But poeple who tag on the word "like" to the end of sentences really want me to stab their eyes out with pitch forks.
"Have you tried one of those like?"
"What are you doing like?"
"Giz'us a try like!"
Why? Why? Why does this need tagging on? Its something im associating with the lower end of the class structure. Ie common!

It really irks me tooI think it's common in a lot of different regions as well. In Scotland there are some people who use it a lot and inexplicably strech the word out to 'liiiiike'.
Every single sentence they do it!
