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?

Hahahaha!Funny you say that, my Mum has had headless statue of St Anthony for 40 odd years. It was a big joke in our family because she lost it before she could glue it back on.
*For you non Papes out there, St Anthony is the patron saint of lost things.
