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?

People who are proud of their ignoranceWatching the England v Kazakhstan match last week, I heard numerous shaven headed knuckle-draggers going on about how they had never even heard of Kazakhstan. This is not something they should be pointing out, it's not something to be proud of.
Probably the same kind of person who exclaims proudly that they never read books, don't need to, I read the Mirror/Mail/Sun.

Usually with a nice glass of red or a cup of hot choc.

WorkMy ex boss was half English, half Scottish, born in India (her Dad was in the army). Her best friend kept refering to her as a "Paki". I pointed out she was born in India - "Same place innit".
