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?

not sure if this counts for this qotw.... but what the hell. I heard an interesting one recently from a friend of mrs sarcasmo...
Recently NTL (or whatever their called nowadays) sent an engineer out to replace their decoder. While she was off doing her daily housework stuff, NTL man (who was obviously on the chilli the night before) decided to leave a steaming great 'barry-white' in the loo and legged it, not so much as an "oops sorry there love".. he just dropped and legged it..
She didn't realise he'd legged it, until she realised it was a tad quiet in the other room, so went to see what was going on. she realised then once she encountered the lingering smell.

May I ask, pleaseIs 'barry-white' rhyming slag for 'shite', or do you just mean a big brown thing that smells like it's been dead for some time?
Just curious.
