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?

HmmI agree with all you put excluding:
packed lunch - wha? Damn site cheaper than the alternatives.
fluorescent tabards (and their wearers) - I cite bike usage as above.
I think you just have a thing against builders.
But tabloid newspapers - Fuck yes!
