bricks
Mason's clay rectangles
Bricks are rectangular blocks of fired clay used for building walls, paths, and structures.
The standard shape makes them stackable and easy to handle.
Figuratively, to shit bricks is to be terrified.
A brick can be a dependable person, or a phone or device rendered useless: I updated the firmware and bricked my phone.
