Your definition of "a lap"?

Hi all, I remember reading a discussion here about what counted as a "lap" (one length versus a round trip), and there didn't seem to be a consensus. I'm interested to know the statistics. So please take the poll :)

    If pools were circular, I am sure a lap would be coming back where you started. So when you are circle swimming, a lap is two lengths, but if you have the lane to yourself (or if you are triathlete and can't circle swim) a lap is one length?
