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?

I always plonk the phones on the side of the tubif I'm having a bath and have received several important calls that way, including telephone interviews and job offers.
Keeping the splashing noises down is tricky and the sounds echo a bit in there. I usually start giggling because I KNOW they think I'm taking a dump. I must sound right common.
