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?

F'mePeople who say 'pardon' instead of 'what' when they fail to hear the stupid prole muttering under his breath. It's just so undeniably bourgeoisie.
Also, 'refreshments'.

I try not to say 'what'but I couldn't look myself in the face if I ever tried to say 'pardon' So I compromise with 'sorry?'
