in mathematics an oblong is any rectangle except a square - generally it can be applied to any 2D object that has been elongated along one axis relative to the other... (the clue is in the name)

EDIT - guess I'd better qualify that and say in everyday terms you can apply it to 3D objects as long as you realise it only applies to two of them [the dimensions that is]....
