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?

TelevisionI don't have a television. It's not any form of snobbishness, nor do I look down on those who watch it all the time; I just don't think it's worth the money. If there's anything on, I get my laptop and put iPlayer.com on.
I'm sorry.
So very, very sorry.

I don't have one either.My reasoning was that, if I was interested enough in a programme to watch it, the chances are that I'd've read about it quite deeply, so would learn nothing. If I hadn't, I could read about it.
Plus, the telly broke and I couldn't afford a new one.

I used to have oneon which I played video games (does anyone else under thirty still call them that?) but we moved into a smaller place and I gave it away. Come to think of it, I've never bought a television in my life.
The original post was my first attempt at a pun (on this board, not in life). It was so awful that it appears anyone has even noticed it.

What was the pun supposed to be?That you're not paying your license fee but using iPlayer?
Or that you spent money on a laptop rather than a TV?
