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?

StereotypesLast time I saw the figure, Edinburgh took more old Etonians each year than all other universities put together. They encouraged this by having luxury ensuite rooms at Pollock Halls for a substantially higher rent, so that only public schoolboys could afford to live there.
Standard uniform last year for the girls seemed to be boots, black tights and small denim mini-skirt. Very crack whore. This year it's a slightly posher skirt, but still normally above legs which justify the burka's existence.

To be fairI met my first Etonian over the summer, went to St. Andrews after, dad's a Lord, family have a large country house/estate and he's nothing like the cunts with the flipflops...and that's about the biggest compliment I can give him
