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?

A woman I knowwas born in New Zealand and spent a lot of her life in Australia before moving to the US. She's reluctant to talk on the phone to any man she doesn't already know. I asked her why this was.
Apparently it's not uncommon for guys to start wanking to the sound of her accent.
Now, having met this woman and spent some time talking to her, I can say that while her voice is pleasant enough I didn't find it especially sexy- she has a fairly standard sounding voice, not a deep husky sex-growl. So apparently it was her Oz/Kiwi accent that was getting these guys off.
Very weird.
