It's not a word (yet), but had Harry Potter uttered "diagonality" instead of "diagonally" while traveling by Floo Powder for the first time in The Chamber of Secrets, he might have materialized in this image by UrbanToronto Forum contributor Undead, instead of ending up somewhat askew from his intended destination in Diagon Alley. There are already diagonally chamfered walls built into the new EQ Bank Tower above, and the corrugated concrete panels between the windows of the heritage 25 Ontario Street base building really amp it up, but a wide angle lens can further exaggerate any acute-angled photo into a world of diagonals, absolutely every line askew, even if most are orthogonal in real life. The image, bisected by an electrical wire just to prove this could be a Toronto photo, adds a final coup de grâce of diagonality to the pic. There, coined it, it's a word now!
