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?

Actually...I believe the generally-accepted class definitions run as follows:
If you work for your income, you're working class.
If you make your living through the ownership of property, you're middle class.
If your family wealth comes from inheritence, you're upper class (nobility not required).
You, sir, are working class. I'd suggest that dole-scroungers should be dubbed "peasants", but real peasants actually worked, and damned hard...
