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?

Sandwich manI used to work with a guy who seemed determined to get his mouth open as wide as possible when he was chewing.
The weird thing was he always held his sandwich down at desk level and lowered his entire upper body down to take a bite. Fully functioning arms etc, just a muppet.
