Oh, dude, a hexagon is called a hexagon because it has six sides, not because it's throwing a sexy party! It's all about those angles, man. So, like, if you want to talk about shapes getting frisky, you might need to invent a whole new geometry for that "sexagon" action.

Most polygons have numerical prefices which are derived from Greek. The exception are quadrilateral and nonagon which use Latin prefices. The Greek prefix for six is hexa.
