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?

I'd rather not give them a breakTheir activities may be legal in most cases but annoying to the majority. That is, the very wide majority, i.e. people with small children, students trying to study, drivers trying to make their way from A to B without having to worry about some idiot with a drainpipe attached to their car cutting them up on the road. If they weren't annoying and more importantly antisocial, there wouldn't be this problem, but unfortunately there is. They have only themselves to blame for the attention they attract.
