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?

i'll leave this herePunters who tuck their (shiny) tracksuit bottoms into their socks. common.
Punters that wear tracksuit bottoms and wear shoes. common.
and in recent years (certainly in Ireland).. BMW's. Common. (chip-shop car more to the point!)
Shiny tracksuit wearing chavs who seem to think a mobile phone is a boom-box/getto blaster (am I showing my age?). common.
Recently encountered a chav punter walk by, with his chav buddies, clad in their best shiny tracksuits. chief chav had his boom-box mobile in his gob as he walked down the street. (I think he was doing this amplify the scooter/chipmunks-do-techno-type-music). common.
