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 don't have a problem with the populace of Liverpool. Don't get me wrong......I know a few people over there that I hang out with that I met on my Myspace page, and have met loads of times since.
You couldn't want for better people. It's just a shame that the place is marred with so much sterotyping its unreal.
You have that twunt Harry Enfield to thank fot that with The Scousers sketch, and the overly hammed up accents and carryings on of Brookside. They really shed a negative light on Liverpool in my opinion.

...Wasn't having a go - just putting my 2p's worth in!
Hopefully people aren't as dense to believe the outdated stereotypes anymore (btw, what's Harry Enfield doing back on BBC1 at the moment? He really should give it up now...)
Talking of stereotypes, my northern counterparts at uni used to comment about my close proximity to Walford, merely because I live 20miles from London - this was obviously in jest, but I found it quite amusing!
