What makes a person 'common'?

[Karlwho]

In your opinion. Just interested.

Anyone mentioned the so-called cold shoulder tops yet? They are very c.

I've been terribly common today.

Hot flushes driving me mad currently, dh has an old dri-fit England rugby polo shirt.

And horror of horrors, I went out in the extremely common looking sportswear to the supermarket.

I am the height of commphistication

Anyone mentioned the so-called cold shoulder tops yet?

Yep. Somebody beat you to it

I’m common today - I used a ready made pasta sauce for my ravioli at dinner

Fake LV tote bag

Acrylic nails.

Strappy tops with bra straps showing (wear a strapless if you're large of chest)
Sliders (esp with socks not envy they make me feel quite ill)
Kids names....you know the ones
Fakery (hair/nails/eyes/tan etc)
Curlers in hair outside the house
Giant buns on heads
Burberry
"Designer" handbags
Audis and BMWs and giant off-road vehicles that you know will only ever be used to drive Ellie-Mae and Jayden the 2 minute drive to school and back.
Swearing (when overused and not in context)
Sadly I do have an artificial xmas tree but my clothes pegs are wooden and match!

Think it's an outdated term. I d use the term chav now to mean modern day common.

The guy passed out drunk, in the corridor, outside his room, that DC and I had to walk over/past at 5.30pm yesterday whilst on holiday. He is common.

If you ask my mother its pronouncing new "noo" and painting your toenails...

Why are fake Christmas trees common?

We've had ours years, I'm not paying to have a real tree cut down to sit in the house for three weeks and then get recycled.

So much better to have your plastic one sit in landfill for hundreds of years.. Shame on those living trees, growing and composting away

According to my DM:
Eating soup with a dessert spoon
Eating on the couch

Watching ITV
Sky
Fake nails
Margarine
Names ending in y/ie
Drinking soup from a cup
Calling dessert pudding
Wearing sports clothes when not doing sports
Yellow teeth
Piercings other than one on the earlobe
Tattoos
Fake tan
Young boys with very short hair
Babies dressed like adults
Obesity
Bulldogs/ Rottweilers etc type dogs
Greasy hair
Drunkenness
Ready meals

Verily you can tell your mother that use of the words couch and dessert are bloody awful. The others are probably the same as my mother who's almost 80.

Lack of self awareness

Verily1 tell your mother she is wrong re dessert. Pudding is correct – pudding is pudding, dessert is the fruit course.

shrunkenhead according to your list I am common as muck with my eyelash extensions, big 4x4, Burberry mac and 'designer' handbag

I always have a real tree though

I was going to say Pudding is vair posh.

Only a clueless flat chested woman would suggest this.

How true

I'm 34 FF! So hardly flat-chested!

So true ... if you are above a c cup strapless doesn't work, so uncomfortable.

But you know, it doesn't matter, we are all a combination - I have fake nails because my natural ones crumble and look horrible for medical reasons, but they are quite short gel ones and naturally shaped (most people think they are my own) - it's not common, it's personal preference. So I will wear strappy tops and have an artificial Christmas tree, but I also have traditionally named kids, drive a 11 year old car, go to the opera and hate make up, go figure!

Eating on the couch

Doesn’t she mean sofa?

Pudding is the correct posh term.

@Verily1

I apologise for not reading the previous posts on this page.

Agree with PPs

Using the word 'common'

It's soooooo, like "common" - you know?
