Well, you even mentioned it :P
> d20, one of the polyhedral dice used in such games
I just copy and pasted that disam page from Wikipedia and didn't bother sorting through them all. I just did it to make a point about abbreviations. (Although, that one makes sense - if I was a bird I wouldn't mind living in a birdhouse like that. 🙂 )
@trinsec @Pat Yup, the 20-sided die. Perhaps I should have added the #ttrpg tag. It's a common theme in novelty items:

I suppose it's possible that someone is selling things shaped like a specific Irish postal district...
@trinsec @Pat I do see that someone has MADE one, at least in the correct shape (an icosahedron): https://polyhedr.com/birdhouse.html
Thank you for providing the disambiguation. (BTW, the ttrpg tag wouldn't have helped me because I don't know what that is either. 🙂 )

>"onsidering his past with boardgames, I'd have thought a d20 die shape."
I don't even know what that is.
I'm sure he'll let us know what he was talking about in the morning.
