obliques
In an anatomical context, this term refers specifically to the internal and external muscles of the abdomen. It is almost exclusively used in the plural when discussing fitness, kinesiology, or medical diagnostics, as these muscles exist in pairs on either side of the torso.
When used as an adjective, the term describes a geometric relationship where a line is neither horizontal nor vertical. In design and architecture, it suggests a dynamic or unstable energy compared to the static nature of right angles.
