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?

Eggy Bread - The food of the gods!Although it was only after what I think is best described as a "gazpacho soup" moment, that I was informed that "grown-ups" call it French toast...
Somehow it seems less appealing now... Maybe because it brings back to me the embarrassment, or maybe it's the French connotations.

@ChaconySeconded!
People look at you rather confused if you call it that though.
I thought it was just me and my rather odd family that called it that.

I don't understand?Surely what with gypsys being the lowest of the low, gypsy toast would just be stale bread?
Mind you, still doesn't explain why it's French toast. Unless the first time it was made a shit load of Germans marched all over it.
