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?

Car stickers
I won't say decals.

Installing a car-sticker of the make and/or model of the vehicle.

A pointless exercise because
a: Do you really want to be tarnishing the car makers' reputation by announcing what you have under all that plastic? Someone from Vauxhall might actually see what you've done to his favourite work project.

b: The car maker have already done it for you at the factory in a tasteful badge.

I've seen a red Mitsubishi around here and the sticker reads:

MSTB'E

WTF??? For a start, the S and the T are the wrong way round, and there is no E either!

No, what's worse in when the kids in their "souped up" cars
put stickers on the door telling us who made the suspension, oil, air filter, seatbelts, stereo, wheels, etc etc

It might not be an attempt at Mitsubishi
Maybe he was trying to write masturbater.
