Where I'm from, a "square" is a cigarette. One of my favorite slang words.

Actually, if you click on the "more" button, you'll see approximately a gazillion other definitions, a few of which approach that particular meaning. :-)

Ha! Welcome to WordNet (or as it's affectionately known in these parts, WeirdNet), cricket. You'll see some really whacked-out definitions there, but they're there for a reason: to spark conversation. So in that sense, they're wildly successful.

I like your definition better: "extremely out-of-date dudes" should definitely be in the dictionary.

Ok, that definition up there seriously needs revising. I'm thinking more like extremely out-of-date dudes.

Cricket jargon - at right-angles to the pitch, from to the point of view of the batsman on strike.
