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?

sport trainers outside the gymI passionately hate this. Are you suddenly going to go for a run whilst in the middle of the supermarket? Start up an impromptu game of tennis?
I love my high heels but appreciate the need for comfy footwear. But this is what 'street trainers' are for.
But is it a step too far to send a guy home to change when he turns up on a date wearing sports trainers? To me it indicates a lack of effort and perfectly justified.

It's more than justified.Additionally, ask him whether he wants to spend at least £100 for you on a date - if not, send him home. But even if he does, you should make it perfectly clear that he's not to expect anything in return, or else you'll be betraying the sisterhood.
