Square round

As I was growing up my mother would use a weird phrase to encourage us to tidy the house up. She would say (quite oblivious to the phrase's oxymoronic nature) to square round.

(I did blog this before back in 2011 so I've deleted it)


The original post said

Square Round 1
My mother would often ask us to "square round" in the living room.
This involved "plumping up the cushions" among other things.
Always struck me as a rather oxymornonic phrase.
