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?

nononothe point of all those things is to serve as a warning to other road users:
"Be warned. The driver of this car is a muppet/mentally incompetent/being distracted by their spawn. So don't expect them to understand about use of indicators or other such arcane secrets of driving, and allow plenty of stopping distance."
Except that doesn't fit on a sticker, and people wouldn't put it up themselves.
