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?

When I worked in a kids' homethere was a lad in care, aged about 13, who'd been caught sucking off the family dog. I read about this in his file so it's true.
The staff were always saying telling him that he was a pal and saying he liked the lassies, took the lead in discussions, etc.
