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?

when i got to my current flat in Chinathe western style toilet (always better than those squat-over-a-ceramic-hole jobs) had clearly NEVER been cleaned. it was a filthy grey kind of colour around the bottom, where everything gets flushed away, and guess who got the unenviable task of taking a knife and chipping away at this dried-on (nay, CAKED ON) excrement? it was a half hour of my life i never want to see again.
