dog-ear
Corner page crease
A dog-ear is a corner of a page folded down to mark one's place in a book, resembling a dog's floppy ear.
To dog-ear a page is to fold it this way: She dog-eared the recipe she wanted to try.
Dog-eared describes something worn or shabby from heavy use: a dog-eared paperback, a dog-eared copy of the constitution.
