How many Rangles are there?

Wow, I have not seen a Fandangle for many a year, are they still piebald or do they come in multicolours nowdays?

The Bermudrangle should be avoided if possible.

I’ve heard the word a lot. On many school campuses, there’s a quadrangle or quad where people congregate. It’s bounded by 4 sides, generally with buildings.

It’s less likely to be a triangle because that would be a poor use of space. If it’s only bounded by two sides, it’s more likely to be called a mall or walkway.

In math, it’s more likely called a rectangle or square. That has equivalent terms for other shapes with multiple sides.

I’ve got a dangler if that counts :wink::+1:

I sometimes used to wrangle down the price of jeans in street markets… usually Levi’s.

Never got into the big W on the backside look.
