Rectagon

The kids came to the staff office during school break today all excited.

Kids: Do you guys know what a rectagon is!?

Me (staff): Rectagon?? [A Transformer??] Or do you mean...rectangle?

Kids: No, RECTAGON! It has 8 sides.

Me: Um, no that's an OCTAGON.

Kids: No! There's actually a RECTAGON! Google it!

So I look it up on Google.

I found an image of what looks like a squashed octagon. The top and the bottom are longer, kind of like an elongated octagon. From reading the google hits, rectagon seems like a made-up word. Google it and check it out...you'll find some weird stuff...

The boys were all excited that they discovered a new shape.
