    Oh, disappointed. I was thinking the common as in plain, nondescript and just like everybody else, I would score 100% on that. However, I don't understand this version of common, or even know what most of the things on the quiz were :p

    Having said that I am 27% common
    I did once steal a shopping trolly as a teen, I think that counts as owing one.

    I'm hoping to have that hole in the backyard finished so I can soon check the bathroomed outside question ;)

    I am having a blast searching things and expanding my international vocabulary.

    I guess the quiz is quintessentially British...

    "Common" in British terms normally means the opposite to "posh"...

    For example, these people

    What sort of vocab don't you know? I'm interested- I like how different things get called different things across the sea.

    I am 50% common. That's a good score I think

    Most I can guess at, like shopping trolly, mostly brand names and slang it has come to look like are the ones that require an internet search...
    lino, matalan, lada, shell suit, council house, aldi, lidl and no matter how many times it is explained to me I'll never wrap my head around the concept of pudding, it has too many meanings :p

    Lino is plastic flooring I don't know the American, a shell suit is a shiny tracksuit (brightly coloured), Aldi and Lidl are like Shop'n'Save or Walmart, Matalan is like K-Mart or Burlington's

    Pudding in this context is dessert

    Eating dessert makes you trashy? The amount I eat will automatically give me 100% on the quiz then ;)

    Lol at the shell suit, though. I remember those from the early 90s I think but haven't seen them sold in stores since. I might have to have my parents pick me up a few, sweet. ;)

    24% common. Good to know that all those years being in the private education system had some sort of influence on me.

    No, some of them are things that are classy and some are common

    Actually, I'd take Lidl over Iceland any day .... Lidl may be 'cheap' but a lot of the food is pretty good (German) quality.
