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?

Ok...
I fall prey to so many things mentioned here, am I common? I don't think so, I'm more...borgeousie youth trying to get away from white/middle class guilt.
I...
- Smoke roll ups because they're cheaper and I can hide hash in them.
- Have a tramp stamp, reminscent of man ray's cello lady.
- Wear ugg boots. BECAUSE THEY ARE FUCKING COMFORTABLE. If men could get away with wearing slippers in the street they so would.
- Say 'innit' a lot. Perhaps in an ironic fashion? Perhaps from the riduculous amount of time I spend around my 17 year old dealer?
- Stay in my pajamas until absolutely necessary to get into real clothes. It's so fun! Also they eventually feel like fur and you are a green and white yeti type creature running to the shop for 'large blue rizla thanks mate'
- Have a dog with 'terrier' in the breed name. Horace is a Bedlington Terrier and looks like a wee lamb. He is also gay.
- Drink in airport bars before 11am. I make a habit of always venturing to the airport bar whenever I am on a layover. I play Tom Waits songs in my head and sit at that goddamn bar. If four minutes go by without meeting some 50ish year old business man who just wants to buy me a drink and tell me his fascinating, sorrowful life story then I give up and try to sneak into the first class lounge.
Those men are legends.
So, am I common, or do I just do whatever I feel like and bugger what people think?

Not really
I agree with the ugg boots, they are amazingly comfortable and keep your feet warm! And the staying pyjamas, nothing better than pyjama days!

nope
you're what we call a "rah-rah". Got any Jack Wills/abercrombie and fitch? Dyed blonde backcombed hair? penchant for wearing flipflops with those pyjamas, regardless of the weather?

Ummm..
No, I have dreads in the back, sweepy fringe in the front!
And I have never even been in to A&F or Jack Wills, on principle. Maybe I am trying too hard NOT to be a rah. Ok I do wear flip flops with pajamas. It's a comfort thing!

Agree with the pajamas
I wear them around the house unless I'm about to go out or go to work. There's nothing better than being in warm and comfortable clothing.
