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?

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.
