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?

Made my dayTo know that there is at least one yoof out there who is thinking about how to solve the problem of scrounging scum.
What do you mean not enough work?
Aside from cleaning up our urban, rural and coastal areas, they could be:
Helping the elderly by doing their housework, gardening, shopping.
Helping to run youth clubs, sports facilities, charity shops.
Sorting rubbish into cans, bottles, plastic as it comes out of the bin lorry.
And those rocks won't break themselves.
