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?

It's not that common...There is only one SWF afterall... I lived in Burnham-on-Crouch for a while which for a small town on the outskirts of nowhere had more alcoholics, vagrants and smackheads than the dodgy part of Haringey where I currently reside.

Burham and Southminster!Burnham aye, I lived in a nearby village called Steeple for 18 years!! Steeple is so tiny that residents add "Near Southminster" to their address so the postie can find them!
My mum works in Saaaafffminster, it's such a false place, it has no soul! :-(
