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?

Whenever I introduce me now-toddler daughter to someoneand they ask what her name is, I say "Nell"
and they always reply "Awwww, that's a nice name."
and I always say "Well to be honest, someone else had already beaten us to Tracey."
And from their reaction right then I can normally tell if that person has a sense of humour or is common as fuck.

If you'd said that to me in the street, I'd have bought you a pint (and got Nell a sausage roll from Greggs) :)
