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?

WomblesAm I the only person to have thought that, in the theme tune to their TV show, the Wombles announced their membership of the working classes? It only occurred to me a couple of years ago that they said "the Wombles of Wimbledon Common are we" and not "The Wombles of Wimbledon, common are we".
Dur.
