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 still think BMWs are worsebut I've heard the thing about people being rude to Mercedes drivers. From a guy who was driving a courtesy-car Audi while his Mercedes was being fixed, and was surprised at how much faster he got everywhere despite the Audi being half as powerful.
