Cinder Block, Concrete

/SIN-der blok, KON-kreet/  n.
  1. 1. A rectangular unit of precast concrete, primarily employed in the construction of load-bearing walls, characterized by its uncompromising heft and voids that suggest a robustness beyond the sum of its parts.
  2. 2. colloq. A construction staple that refuses to be moved without a full committee of planning and leverage, often seen lounging in unflattering shadows, daring architects to defy its weight.
In a sentence,

"During the renovation, they unearthed a thiccc cinder block, its hulking presence stealing the show from the blueprints. The foreman called it a monument to immovability."

Etymology,

From Old English 'cind' meaning 'slag, ash', and Latin 'bloc', denoting a solid mass. Originally coined as 'cinne-bloc' in Middle English masonry texts, a term no longer in circulation; the current form provides fewer excuses during site inspections.
