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?

Curious thing ...about racism in Australia. If we mean it, you'll know it. If we don't, you're just being soft if you take offense.
Everyone here has a (mostly) affectionate ethnicly based tag; Lebos, wogs, chocos etc.
And we Anglo-Aussies are called Chain-Rattlers.
Many a merry playground taunt thus ensues; "Yeah well at least my great great granddaddy didn't get transported for sheep shagging!"
It's all in fun really. And genuine apologies to any delicate little Brits whose precious sensibilities might get stomped on.
