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?

ErmI had my ears pierced when I was three months old by some old dude at my dad's temple. Does that exempt me from being common?
I only wear yellow gold at Asian gatherings. It's silver for everyday wear. Some of my fellow asians haven't quite got the concept of not wearing every piece of gold jewelery they own at once, thereby (is that a word?) out-blinging all those hippity hop "singers"

PiercingsI do think it's rather a different issue if it's done for traditional or religious reasons, and it's certainly not chavvy in that instance. It just seems a lot more cultural and classy than seeing tiny toddlers being hoisted up onto a Claire's Accessories piercing chair.
