A square is a rectangle, but a rectangle isn't necessarily a square
Same with rhombus and diamond
A rhombus is a diamond, but a diamond isn't necessarily a rhombus
Rhombus has to have four equal sides, a diamond does not.
I think most people would say a 2D shape that they'd call a diamond would have 4 equal sides.
I don't think very many at all would call an elongated parallelogram a "diamond".
If I took a traditional diamond shape and elongated just the bottom sides.
I feel like most would call it a diamond still. Specific term would be a kite. Many wouldn't come up with that, though. It's not an elongated parallelogram. It is not a rhombus.
"Diamonds" on bicycle playing cards have curved edges. They are not a rhombus because sides are not parallel. Most agree that it's the classic diamond shape, though.
If you give someone paper and a pencil and ask them, "Please draw a diamond shape."
Most will draw a 4 sided shape with 4 equal sides.

In practice, diamonds have equal sides.
In practice, diamonds are rocks.
They're not rocks. They're minerals, Marie

Yeah, Shine on You Crazy Rhombus would never have been a hit.
Yeah there were dumb kids in my class too.
Yeah, apparently it's mean to call them squares...
Unless you live in North Dakota, where the Rhombus Guys pizza chain is located. Pretty good pizza, though overpriced.
I disagree, N. Dakota doesn't exist.
JFC, I just looked it up and I think the other guy is right. There are now 2 Dakotas somehow. What is the world coming to?!

rhombus is just a drunk square
There's a rhombus on my argyle sock There's a rhombus on my argyle sweater There's a rhombus, on that diamond back snake Rhombus, oh you'd better not pet her I saw a rhombus shaped kite flying up in the sky I saw a rhombus shaped marking on the head of a horse I saw a rhombus shaped sandwich at a fancy party And a rhombus shaped sign that said baby on board A rhombus is a diamond With all sides the same length BOT A: You can measure it You can ride a bus, but have you ever ridden rhombus? BOT A: This playing card has a diamond on it BOT B: I prefer to call it a rhombus BOT A: Go fish! See a rhombus on a jeweled crown Run a rhombus when you hit a home run With a rhombus you can draw a manta ray A rhombus is all kinds of fun! It's a rhombus BOT A: You look nice in that argyle sweater BOT B: Thank you. It was a gift from the horse.

I love those robots. I wish my kids still watched so I had an excuse 😆
Funny I just used it last night after having not used it since who knows when. Didn't want to say parallelogram.
I do see that shape frequently; I just know it as a kaju katli.
Actually, it’s four really good points. Am I right ladies?
Only half on them are ^^a cute.
A rhombus is the kind of rectangle a bitch would draw
Jokes on you - literally - b/c I just heard about it again today! :-P
Don't mess with Big Parallelogram
in anatomy, rhomboideus major, and minor
trapezoid has entered the chat
"Rectangular prism."
NGL that sounds like it would make a good swearword.
stubs toe really hard "RecTANGular PRISm!!"
A rhombus has more to offer than rotational symmetry.
I'm sad they never watched Adventure Time.
Not a point. A polygon. Duh.
Yeah, shape up.
