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?

I'll probably sound like a bit of a cunt butUse of the word 'Kids'. A kid is a baby goat; what you mean is CHILD.
Drinking alcohol in public. By that I mean the guys walking about at 10am with a can of stellar in their paw.
Chavs.
Dropping Ts and Gs (although I do this myself).

Drinking in publicOooh, I'm with you there. It's so common. Drinking out of cans it what children do, not fully grown men.

Dropping Ts and GsMarginally preferrable to dropping one's G&T

Actually, I'll out-cunt you......by pointing out that kid is a perfectly acceptable word for child which has been in use since before the Norman invasion. It comes from the Anglo-Saxon. Compare to German, kind / kinder as in kindergarten.
