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?

Ohhhh, I've got one...Lower-middle-class Bearsden yummy-mummy types who are too doped up with prescription antidepressants, sedatives, and other mind-altering chemicals to be able to control their Porsche Cayennes or even use the indicators when they attempt a three-lane dash at 50mph in the "20's Plenty" zone outside the school that they're late to drop Issy and Hannah off to because they were up all night worrying about how to pay for their 125% mortgage. You're not earning enough to buy the house and the car (which you're going to need to pay for repairs for now because I bet that's uninsured damage), you're up to your arse in debt and that's not the same thing. Ever heard the phrase "Champagne lifestyle on a beer budget"? That's *you*, that is.
In other news, Sierra 1, Porsche 0. That'll teach you to use your mirrors for something other than checking your mascara.
Length? About the same, but about 4" narrower where it hit the Ford. Hohoho.
