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?

Is that the bus stop by the church?I used to live in the basement next door to that church, which offered the kindly service of a soup kitchen. This resulted in our "garden" being kindly serviced with effluence and empty high-strength cider cans. That said, I was living with a very good friend during the .com boom, and I loved that flat.
