Curlicue
A curlicue, or alternatively curlycue, in the visual arts, is a fancy twist, or curl, composed usually from a series of concentric circles. It is a recurring motif in architecture (as decoration to the lintel/architrave above a door), in calligraphy and in general scrollwork. The word can also refer to a specific kind of origami , made out of a single stripe of paper that can be transformed in many geometric shapes.

gollark: Well, as I said earlier, ubq did choose to leave and could also have not left.
gollark: Oh look, palaiologos decided to just post in the place where they cannot be responded to after saying they would leave.
gollark: See, you should have elected me, I would never do this.
