Because asking for a right triangle would sound dumb. The "square" gets it's name for what is does, not what it is shaped like. Kind of like a Q-tip isn't shaped like a "Q."
While in kindergarten I was taught shapes well a couple years ago my dad (esp) says hand me that square I said I don't see a square he says that metal thing I said this that's a triangle he says nope that's called a square good to know a triangle and square are the same thing
Wait until he asks you for the Tee Square...
The pitch gauge? Sorry Dad, no one throwing baseballs out here...
Grandpa was famous for this one, "Not that sledge hammer, I wanted the left handed sledge hammer!"
My all time favorite: Pi r Square, Pi r not square, cake r square, Pi r round!

Have any idea what the "Q" stands for in Q-Tip (without using Google)?
