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?

One of my favourite Prince Phillip-isms
was when he was being interviewed, and the conversation turned to wildlife conservation.

"I understand you used to go on tiger shoots?" queried the reporter.

"No no," replied the Prince, "I went on one shoot, and shot one tiger, which happened to be lame anyway. And it was long before you were born, so I don't know how you know about it."

Had me in stiches. Fantastic (if entirely un-pc) bloke.
