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?

HoneypotsSome course just attract the rich and pretentious hoorays. Specifically: Fine Art at Edinburgh, Art History at St Andrews, Land Economy (a.k.a. running the estate) at Cambridge, English at Exeter, anything at Durham. Normal intelligent people who find themselves there can have a hell of a time - your friend has my sympathy.
