No, you're thinking of Danny DeVito's wife. They have separated but are still married.

They're not really mentioned in more advanced math.
It's all polygons.

Ok, triangles are often treated as a special case. But for anything else it's a n-sided polygon.

Every square you ever met is a rhombus that gave up its art career and got a boring 9-5.

Every 3 ft square box that you shoved a bunch of 3.25 ft long irregularly shaped items into then closed the flaps on is a rhombus.

Nah in my experience everything is a circle. You see π even in places you don't expect

In my culture, rhombus is the basis of a vagina pictogram. In my culture, rhombus is every schoolboy's favorite shape.

Isn't a rhombus just what you call a diamond that's having a bad day?

It's also called diamond or zoomie square. You know, cuz it's like a square that's going so fast the pointy parts start at the tippy top

This is amazing and thank you for sharing. The ability of the human race to come up with different yet universally understood yonic symbols is heartening. Like no matter what place or time, we're all in this together and we will be drawing genitalia.

Rhombuses are really commonly used in trigonometry puzzles. You know, "Here's a bunch of lines and a couple of angles, find the angle at X."

You mean regular polygons. A rhombus is an irregular polygon. Triangles are also all polygons. An equilateral triangle is a regular one.

If I ever have my own home, my house will have a rhombus room.

"Don't you mean a rumpus room?"

Bro, that's not even a real shape.

They would be parallelograms if all 4 sides didn't have the same length. But they do, so it's rhombus.

The only thing that's greater than humanity's obsession with rectangles, is computers' obsession with triangles.

A rhombus, otherwise known as a diamond. Its one of the more popular shapes past star, triangle, circle, and square.
