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?

Leopard print.Especially on a woman over 30.
Most especially if she's over-tanned and wearing a lot of gold-tone bling.
Particularly if she's carting enough excess flesh to construct a Backstreet Boy.

ActuallyI was addressing Nurse Ratched, my ex.
But it also applies to the self-styled "cougar" I met up with for dinner recently.
It also applies to the woman in Purchasing at one of my former companies.
Not to mention half the middle-aged divorcees in this town.

Leopard print can be ok, but under limited circumstances1) The person is somewhat rock or at a rock venue
2) It should not be worn on any flesh that bulges improperly
3) The wearer must be ironically aware of the fact that any animal-print is trashy

Oh jeezYou've made me have a flash back to the other week. In town I was, a bmw soft top pulled up on some double yellows, and this hideous, scary looking, wrinkled old bag got out, 50's or so (or far less and an 80 a day habit I guess) dressed from top to to in leopard skin, matching shoes, handbag, the works. The top was actually a leopard skin *hoodie*.
It was the very least I could do not to stab her fucking leopard skin eyes out on the spot. Which would have been justifiable.
I had to blink and make sure I wasn't trapped in some god awful, alternative reality, but no - it was real.

Leopard skin eyes?This has implanted a most deliciously odd image in my mind and for that I thank you. The eyes are, of course, furry.
