    "A geometrical figure longer than wide, such as a non-square rectangle"
    Source and further information:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oblong

    In this sense, a non-square rectangle is a particular case of an oblong. (But there are much more shapes that are oblongs and not rectangles).

    A shape that is oblong does not have corners. a rectangle is an elongated square.
