This is a question Common

Freddy 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?

Worse
when I was working for a surveyor we had to stake out the foundations for a building expansion behind a K-Mart. There, back by the dumpsters, I found a couple of empty beer bottles and a used condom.

What a romantic place to take a girl...
