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?

well yesus Scots like to argue, loudly. But mostly we speak quietly.
Upstairs from me, I have an old lesbian couple, one from here, the other Andalusian - she is incredibly loud, and even when talking, we hear every word she says. Worse when she's on the phone, or arguing, cuase the decibel level almost doubles. Stupid woman.
