How it's used
Refers specifically to the pattern of intersecting lines forming squares or rectangles. While it describes clothing patterns like flannel or gingham, it is also frequently used to describe the grid-like appearance of pixelated images or censored areas on a screen. The term is versatile enough to cover both physical fabric patterns and digital visual effects.
