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?

LavatoryI work in a smallish building in a car park in an airport, renting cars to people. We get to see all sorts of people mooching past. I even saw Noel Edmunds once. Oh and the Hamiltons!!
We were outside having a fag break one time when a rather large welsh girl wandered up to us and said 'ere, you got a toilet in there?' I said yes indeed we do, and she then proceeded to yell at the top of her voice, in a broad welsh accent,
'MA!! MA!! I'M GOING FOR A PISS IN'YERE!!!'
Oh it was funny.
