rhomboids

Tilted four-sided shapes

Rhomboids are parallelograms with oblique angles and unequal adjacent sides—like rectangles pushed askew.

In anatomy, the rhomboid muscles connect the shoulder blades to the spine: My rhomboids are sore from rowing.

The singular rhomboid works as both noun and adjective: a rhomboid shape.
