What the hell's a squircle? Read this!

[squircle]

For all those on BlackMesa who were wondering what the hell a squircle is,

From Wikipedia: Squircle is a portmanteau word used to refer to a mathematical shape with properties between those of a square and those of a circle. It is a special case of superellipse.

Basically, when I started out originally playing Wolfenstein:Enemy Territory, I had to think of a name, and I said I'd use the name of whatever article I came upon next when clicking the "Random Article" button on Wikipedia. So, from then on, I was, and still am, the squircle

EDIT: The article on Wikipedia, not the disease, hehe...>_>
