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'm surrounded by themAt work, every morning after a game, I get to hear the "Ooh, he should have run around more and scored more goals" type comments. Do these people really think they know more about the game than the manager or players? (Actually, they might, but I like a good rant...)
Even worse is when they constantly make "jokes" that are at the expense of other teams or people associated with football. I can bearly name 5 teams, let alone know any names in the game, but they still expect me to find their quipes funny.
Fortunately my chosen sport is karate, so a good punch in the mouth usually shuts the football pansies up for a while :-)
Either that or ruffle their hair up a bit.
