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?

In Wales.I was using the facilities when a local fella came in and started using a urinal along the way from me.
He burped a bit and muttered a polite "excuse me". He then unleashed an almighty bout of bum gas, giggled to himself and said "Sorry. Better out than in though. Well, better out y'ere than in there isn't it."
I have to say, he wasn't entirely wrong.
