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?

Women over the age of 40 who sing current "pop songs"
By "pop songs" I mean anything in the charts that's "popular" at the moment.
I've worked with a few, and they usually do it in the morning, as they arrive at the office having just spent the 20 minute drive to work listening to that cockdustbin Moyles.
There's nothing quite as bad at 8AM as a 50 year old woman walking past you quietly singing "Umber-ella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh"
1. People over 40 shouldn't know what's in the charts
2. People over 40 certainly shouldn't sing in public (unless you are in a choir or are Sting)
I'm 30 and I am quite proud that I could not name 3 acts in the top ten let alone mumble along to their lyrics.

Fair point
but I'd rather have him singing than some aged hag in the office. Or Madonna, she fits in the "aged hag" category

Enough already!
Such ageism so early.
I come into the 'aged hag' category and I sing very well thank you. (Not modern pop, however).
Does anyone over 10 listen to Moyles?

There's still a top 10?
I thought that music was thoroughly killed be people downloading songs or something. That'd explain the godawful screeches coming from the bus chavs' mobiles- it's quite literally the sound of music dying.
