oblique angle
Neither right nor straight
An oblique angle is any angle that isn't a right angle (90°) or a multiple of one.
The term covers both acute angles (less than 90°) and obtuse angles (greater than 90°).
In geometry, oblique distinguishes slanted relationships from perpendicular ones: The beam met the wall at an oblique angle.
