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?

Innapropriate attire outside of your homeMatching Tracksuit tops and bottoms.
You know the ones - the Shell Suits, the NY tracksuits, the canterbury/ adidas pants with the buttons down the sides, great if your at the gym, or rugby training but not to go down the shops to stand around in front of the newsagents with your idiot mates.
The worst ones are girls with the over done faces, massive earrings, and elaborate hairstyles - wearing matching pink top and bottoms with 'juicy' written across the arse. Its a tracksuit! Why did you put in the effort with your face/hair/nails/jewels to put on a tracksuit!

hmm, trackies...as a recent convert to exercising at a gym, in attempt to lose some excess avoirdupois, i have bought some tracksuit bottoms. They're ideal for their purpose, loose and comfortable and all the things that sportswear needs to be for sport.
The problem i have is that I tend to stop off at the supermarket or off-license on the way home, and find myself horribly aware of the fact that, in my shiny trouser and green flash i look like the worst sort of mouthbreather... i'm not prepared to change back into the old plus fours at the gym (not too keen on changing in sweaty changing rooms, despite it being a posh gym) - so what the hell do i do? so far i've been brazening it out, and holding my head high and being my usual polite and well spoken self, but i feel an urge to listen to WaYnKe West or whomever, and buy meal-inna-box instead of nice things.
Any help from anyone?
