dog eared
Bent page corners
Dog-eared describes pages that have been folded at the corner to mark a place, resembling a dog's flopped ear: a dog-eared paperback.
By extension, anything dog-eared is worn, shabby, or well-used: dog-eared furniture, a dog-eared excuse.
The verb dog-ear means to fold page corners this way.
