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?

you forgot the ref to 'mad'anything outwith the narrow sphere of recognition of the ned is 'mad'
eg
prior to a surgical procedure:
"check the mad green jammies oan that cunt*"
*cunt - this is not necessarily a derogatory term in Glasgow
eg - go'an speak to the wee guy in HR - he'll sort ye oot, hes a good cunt him.

aye..cunt is a very useful, multi purpose word, to the Glaswegian.
In fact, cunt, is by no means the worst thing a Glaswegian can call you...When the gloves are off, you are more likely to hear
"Hawl, ya wee dick"
"You're a pure prick by the way"
"Fuck off, ya nugget"
"Ya fuckin' snider"
Expect violence shortly thereafter.
