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?

I ain't French
So I pronounce Peugeot Pee-uw-ge-ott, and Renault Ren-aulT.
Actually, my older brother had a Peugeot mountain bike, and he pronounced it exactly as it's typed above. What a tool.

I hope you
raped him a new one for his astonishing ignorance. He cleared deserved it what with being so horrendously common. In fact, you should have killed every single person he had ever met as they were bound to be common as well. Don't common people make you sick?

They most certainly do
that's why I've stopped using urinals, and taken up pissing on tramps.
My family are probably the most common people I know. They're all knuckle-dragging, X Factor watching, Christmas punch-up having, Football supporting, 'You int done nuffink!', soap dodging scum. I despise them, but they're my family, so I have to love them too. :(

Your a real champ
Personally I refer to peugeot as pug-e-ots. And i have been known to use the term "Beemer" "merc" and "jag". So I probably need a good raping too.
*bends over expectantly*

Well, if nobody else will
*rapes*
I like to mis-pronounce words, it makes my day.
I can't think of a good example now though, I'm sure I thought of a good one this weekend, but unfortunately Mr Beer has taken away my brain.

How about
canapes.
Pronounced ka-napes, rather than ca - na - pes, a la francais.
Makes me giggle when people think that is really how to pronounce it.
