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?

Interesting howin Germany, they tend to de-badge the top spec models, as being discreet about your wealth is considered cooler than showing off about it.
I don't know if they have chavs in Germany.

MercedesAlso used to hide the exhausts under the rear bumper so the proles couldn't work out if the de-badged S Class was a poor persons's 6 cylinder, or a bloated plutocrat V12 monster.
